Procuring Saliba will not come cheap; Arsenal consider him indispensable and his recent contract renewal last year is evidence of his importance to the team. Saliba has shared his commitment in deciding to extend his tenure with Arsenal until 2027 though after an impactful but injury-shortened previous season.
He expressed his desire for more success, stating, "Honestly the decision was easy because I had a really good season last season, but unfortunately I didn't finish it because of injury," he said. "So I want more. I want to play more years for this amazing club."
The Frenchman underscored his ambitions with Arsenal as well. "I didn't achieve anything yet, so I want to win everything with this club," he explained. "I think we can achieve everything. Of course, it's easy to say this, but we have the coach, we have the character, we have the players and every year the team gets stronger.
"We have better players with a good mentality. We have a good experience from the last season as well. We know that the season is so long. So we are confident and we know we can do something good at this club," reports the Mirror.
Saliba also emphasised the team's improving quality and mindset for the ongoing campaign. "We have better players with a good mentality. We have a good experience from the last season as well. We know that the season is so long. So we are confident and we know we can do something good at this club."
Arteta has expressed his satisfaction with the flourishing partnership between Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, which has been instrumental to Arsenal's recent success. Speaking last month, he highlighted the pair's growth, "You have to see the development day by day," the head coach said.
"Obviously we believed they could become really good. That togetherness and chemistry is unique, it's something that they built. It happened very organically as well. I'm very proud to have them the level they are showing is incredible."
