Arsenal 'have been shocked by William Saliba's wage demands amid PSG interest' as Gunners struggle to agree a new deal with the highly-rated defender

Arsenal have reportedly been shocked by demands made by William Saliba’s representatives in the defender’s ongoing contract talks, amid fears French champions Paris Saint-Germain could make a move for the star.

Saliba has only one year left on his current deal, after Arsenal triggered an extension earlier this season.

The club have been in talks with Saliba's representatives since before the World Cup, but no agreement has yet been reached.

According to The Sun, Arsenal are prepared to treble the 22-year-old’s current £40,000-a-week wages to secure the defender’s long-term future.
