William Saliba to join Arsenal after rejecting late Tottenham offer

Reports in France claim that Arsenal target William Saliba has chosen to join the Gunners after he rejected an approach from Tottenham. The Spurs submitted an improved bid to Saint-Etienne and offered better contract terms to the defender. However, Saliba has opted to join Arsenal. According to Peuple-Vert, Arsenal will pay an initial €33m (£29.8m) fee plus a further €7m (£6.3m) in add-ons to sign a five-year contract with William Saliba. Saliba is regarded as one of the most highly rated young defenders in France and could be a good addition to Unai Emery’s squad.
