Brilliant £60M star reveals ‘easy decision’ to sign up with Arsenal this summer!

William Saliba has revealed that it was an easy decision to sign a new contract at ARSENAL this summer.

Saliba has established himself as one of the finest defenders in the Premier League after returning from a loan spell in France that turned him into one of the best in Ligue 1 – and a full International player.

There was some speculation that big clubs were eyeing up a potential deal for the Frenchman this summer – but in the end – it was announced this weekend that he has now agreed A new four-year contract with the Gunners – and he claims it was an easy decision to make.

WHAT HAS HE SAID – 

“Honestly the decision was easy,” he said after signing his contract, “because I had a really good season last season, but unfortunately I didn’t finish it because of injury. So I want more. I want to play more years for this amazing club. I didn’t achieve anything yet, so I want to win everything with this club.”

Reflecting on his circuitous route to the Arsenal first team, after joining as an 18 year old four years ago, William believes his loan spells at Saint-Etienne, Nice and Marseille all contributed to making him the player he is now.

“It’s good sometimes to learn like this,” he said. “I didn’t play when I [first] came, so I learned a lot. I became a new man. It’s important for the mentality and then I came back stronger last summer and I knew I would have a chance if I play well.

“I had the confidence of the coach and all the players so it was easy for me. But yeah, it’s a good experience because had it been easy, maybe I would not be happy as I am today. The first two years was hard and now I’m happy because I worked hard and I didn’t give up.”

“I’m so, so, so hungry because I didn’t play for four months and I didn’t help my team. So I hope I won’t have an injury this season, I want to be here all this season with the team. I’m so, so hungry to play on. I can’t wait to be on the pitch. 

“I think we can achieve everything,” he added. “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.
