That’s according to journalist Tom Canton who was speaking on The Gooner Talk YouTube channel.
Arsenal fans are set to receive some very exciting news today.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano has shared that William Saliba’s new contract is set to be signed.
It’s a big boost for Mikel Arteta as one of his most important players commits his future to the club.

The Gunners have already been active in the transfer market, securing the services of Kai Havertz.
Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber appear to be on their way as well, but Arsenal might not be done there.
Arsenal have an interest in also signing young defender Jeremie Frimpong this summer.
Signed by Bayer Leverkusen for £6m, the right-back has been recently linked with a move to the Emirates.
Whether another right-back should be the priority after Timber signs is another question entirely.
Arsenal have genuine interest in Frimpong
Speaking about the 22-year-old, Canton said: “Arsenal are not expected to finish with just Jurrien Timber in the market.
“It’s my understanding that Arsenal’s interest in Jeremie Frimpong that was initially reported in Germany is genuine.
“Arsenal do indeed have an interest in the Dutch international right-back.
“However, it is a very difficult deal for us to complete. He’s got interest from a lot of clubs around Europe and in England as well.
“He’s a player that wants to play regularly and at Arsenal at right-back that is not a guarantee.”
Frimpong had a phenomenal season with Leverkusen last year, scoring nine goals and providing 11 assists in all competitions.
