MAJOR UPDATE: Arsenal superstar drops BIG hint on long-term future at the Emirates — encouraging signs amid strong interest from top European clubs

Arsenal defender William Saliba has dropped a major hint about his long-term future at the Emirates amid strong interest from Real Madrid.
 

The 24-year-old's current contract runs until the summer of 2027, but speculation continues to mount over where his future lies.

Several top European clubs — particularly Real Madrid — have been linked with a potential move for the French international in recent months.

Now, Saliba himself has provided a promising update regarding his future at Arsenal.

Speaking to AFTV after the win over Newcastle, he was asked when he would sign a new contract. He replied:

"Hopefully soon. God is great."
 

Saliba's words will come as an encouraging sign for Arsenal fans concerned about his long-term commitment to the club.

Having already made six signings this summer — including marquee addition Viktor Gyökeres — the Gunners have shown real ambition. That could prove key in convincing Saliba to stay and compete for major honours in the near future.
