Arsenal set to seal new Saliba contract THIS WEEK and re-sign unemployed star in huge transfer boost

ARSENAL expect to tie down William Saliba to a new contract as part of a quadruple boost this week.

The French centre-half, 22, is set to sign a four-year extension at the Emirates.

The Gunners also hope to get transfer deals for Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber over the line, too.

Saliba emerged as a vital player last season.

But a back injury in March was key to Arsenal finishing behind Manchester City.

They are still negotiating with West Ham over a £105million swoop for Rice.

And Dutch defender Timber is also expected to complete his £40m move from Ajax.

Arsenal’s first signing of the summer window came in £65m Chelsea forward Kai Havertz.

The German scored just 19 league goals in three years at Stamford Bridge.

But he has reportedly pocketed a tasty contract worth £330,000-a-week – which could increase with bonuses.

Chelsea replaced Havertz with RB Leipzig’s £52m ace Christopher Nkunku – scorer of 42 leagues goals in the same time period despite suffering a lengthy injury setback.

It remains to be seen how Havertz fits into Arsenal’s XI.

But with Granit Xhaka looking likely to join his former side Bayer Leverkusen, Havertz could end up slotting into midfield alongside Rice.
