Arsenal close to signing Tottenham target
Saliba is currently one of the most wanted French players in Europe and the 18-year-old appeared in 16 games for Saint Etienne last season, impressing in the league and attracting the attention of clubs across Europe.
The former Roma target has now agreed a move to Arsenal, having agreed personal terms with the Gunners despite strong interest from Tottenham in recent weeks.
William #Saliba to Arsenal is essentially complete. #Arsenal and ASSE have reached an agreement of around €30M. Whilst both clubs are still discussing transfer bonuses, the player has already agreed with Arsenal. #RMCsport
