"Big day for Arsenal" - Fabrizio Romano confirms "today is the day" for major Gunners deal

The French centre-back was a hugely important part of Mikel Arteta’s side last season, and it was clear just how much they missed him when he suffered an injury for a key run of games late on in the campaign.

It remains to be seen if Saliba will have the same impact again next season, but it’s clear he’s a huge prospect with a big future and Arsenal fans will be delighted to have tied him down for the long run.

See below as Romano confirmed this hugely significant deal on his official Twitter account.
