William Saliba
24-Year-Old
Arsenal
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Saliba is the rock in the Arsenal back line, and led them to another title challenge that came up short in the 2024/25 campaign. He started 35 league matches, being dropped for two different hamstring injuries and then a red card. The center-back is one of the best in the world and is an irreplaceable part of the starting XI. He's a major producer in every defensive category and has helped Arsenal to finish among the top two in clean sheets in each season since he joined. As long as he can stay healthy, Mikel Arteta will be fine pushing Saliba to 38 starts, which is more than you can say about other Arsenal defenders.
Signs new contract
Saliba has signed a new contract with Arsenal, according to his club.
ANALYSIS
Saliba will be remaining a Gunner for a few years to come, with the defender inking a deal until 2030 with Arsenal. This comes after earning a starting role in the 2022/23 campaign with the club, quickly developing into one of the best central defenders in the world. He is currently regaining fitness after an injury and should return to the starting XI next contest after a bench appearance against Newcastle.

Could return Tuesday
Saliba (ankle) needed a few more days to get back to full fitness and couldn't feature in Saturday's victory against Nottingham Forest, coach Mikel Arteta said in a press conference. "He trained yesterday and he did the whole session and he was OK. I spoke to him afterwards and he said I think I need a few more days. The turnaround has been too quick for the extent of the injury so when a player says that, don't push it. I think Mosquera was very, very good."
