William Saliba speaks about his future at Arsenal
Gunners have received a major boost in keeping hold of their valuable asset. It seems like Saliba is keen to stay at the Emirates. Judging by his comments, he looks very happy at North London which is a huge win for Mikel Arteta.
“Yeah of course, I feel at home. I signed for the club five years ago but it’s only my third season and I’m enjoying everything – the players, the staff and the fans” – Saliba speaking to The Mirror.
