Arsenal may face a fight to keep defender William Saliba this summer after three mystery 'major' clubs made enquiries, according to reports.

As it stands, the centre back's contract is set to run down at the end of next season, although boss Mikel Arteta is understood to be keen to hand him an extension.

As reported by Mail Sport earlier this month, Arteta is confident Saliba will put pen to paper on fresh terms, but only when the time is right. Talks have been held with the highly-rated 24-year-old's representatives since before the World Cup break.
