Arsenal make clear indication over William Saliba contract situation as 'clue' spotted on club website

Arsenal may have just dropped a big clue over the future of William Saliba after launching their new home kit for the 2023-24 campaign.

Arsenal will head into next season as one of the favourites to win the Premier League, with the Gunners destined to finish as runners-up to Manchester City in the current campaign.

While they led the league for much of the season, Arsenal ultimately fell short in the final weeks of the campaign – with Sunday's final match against Wolves a dead rubber, with second place already guaranteed for the north London club.

Arteta will be hoping for a big summer transfer window to ensure his side are back in the hunt for trophies next season.

While a number of new signings are expected to be made, one of the most important jobs will be tying William Saliba down to a new long-term contract.

The French defender has excelled this season but is about to enter the final 12 months of his deal at the Emirates.

He is yet to commit his future to the club, although negotiations are progressing over a new contract for the 22-year-old.

French giants PSG have been linked with a move for Saliba, should those talks break down.

Arsenal include Saliba in kit launch

It appears Arsenal have no plans to cash in on the centre-back this summer after including him in their new kit launch.

Emile Smith Rowe and Kieran Tierney, have both been linked with a move away from the Emirates this summer, also featured.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta recently provided a positive update on the contract negotiations with Saliba.

"We are trying," Arteta said earlier this month.

"We are having conversations and we are trying to maintain the talent we have at the club as I said before. But things take time. You have to agree it. There are different parties involved.

"I think everybody's intention is the same and hopefully we'll find the right solution."

Arsenal's new home kit will be worn on-pitch for the first time on Saturday when the women's team face Aston Villa in their final WSL game of the season.

The men's team will then wear the new kit in their final match against Wolves at the Emirates on Sunday.
