Arsenal 'respond to Real Madrid's interest in William Saliba'

Arsenal defender William Saliba is reportedly wanted by Real Madrid but the Spanish side may find it difficult to strike a deal.

French outlet Le10Sport recently claimed that Saliba had been identified as Madrid's top transfer target for next summer.

Saliba is under contract at the Emirates Stadium until June 2027, having penned an extension last year.

Arsenal are therefore in a strong position to deal with any unwanted interest in their star centre back - who featured in all 38 of their Premier League games last season.
