Arsenal defender William Saliba has agreed a new five-year contract with the club.
The France international has two years left on his existing deal, but BBC Sport has been told he will sign up in the coming days to stay until 2030.
Saliba, 24, joined the Gunners from Ligue 1 side Saint-Etienne in July 2019 but was loaned back to the French club for the 2019-20 season before having further loan spells in Ligue 1 at Nice and Marseille.
The respected journalist David Ornstein announced on his X page that the defender has committed to staying at Arsenal, despite interest from elsewhere, and will give his prime years to the North London club.
"William Saliba commits future to Arsenal by agreeing 5yr contract. 24 year old centre-back entered final 2yrs of previous deal with Real Madrid among suitors. However, the France international, wanted Arsenal stay and is expected to sign a new deal until 2030 in the coming days, he wrote.
The Frenchman has established himself as a key part of manager Mikel Arteta's defence since making his debut in August 2022 and has made 137 appearances for Arsenal.
Saliba's existing contract was due to expire in June 2027 and his impressive form had drawn transfer interest from Spanish giants Real Madrid.
His commitment to the Gunners will be a further boost to Arteta's Premier League and Champions League ambitions, after Saliba's centre-back partner Gabriel Magalhaes agreed a long-term deal until 2029 in June.
Arsenal travel to St James' Park to face Newcastle in the top-flight on Sunday.
