Saliba on celebrating goals often by pulling the shirt and kissing the badge

I was a big fan of Arsenal when I was young. A football game is so hard to win so when my teammates score a goal I'm so happy. I always had this passion but especially because I'm a big of fan of this club and playing and scoring for Arsenal is like a dream for me so I enjoy everything, every day, every game.

On if contract talks over a renewal have started

Not yet, because I have two years and a half left, so there is no rush at the minute. I’m happy here, that’s it. There is nothing. I’m happy here and I want to continue here.

On becoming the best centre-back in the world

Yes, of course. I want to be one day the best defender in the world. I know I need to work a lot and win trophies as well. It's my dream.

On the players he needs to beat to become the best

I have to review my season, work on my game. This season I haven't been so good. I have to watch especially my partner Gabriel who's been so so good this season and a few others as well. I have to be focused on myself and work more.

On winning major trophies

We are very close. We keep going. We don’t stop working. When you are close like this, when you don’t win trophies, it is sad, but I am really sure we will arrive there.

On if he wants to stay at Arsenal until he wins the league and the Champions league

Yeah, of course, I want to win big things with Arsenal. When you leave without winning anything, the fans forget about you.

On the areas his game needs to improve

My concentration. I have to score more and help my team win trophies. When you win trophies, you can say "I'm the best". But we haven't won and this season I couldn't help a lot my team to win some trophies but we're still in the Champions league and the Premier league isn't over

I kept telling everyone saying he's going to Real Madrid that he ain't leaving us. I'm 100% certain he wants to win a trophy or more before that. There is no rush. He's still young.

He said he has two years left in the press conference

Unless he signs an extension, the concerns of us losing him for nothing is still there

However there no suggestion that Madrid even want him now, it's Jarrad Branthwaite [Everton] they seem to be pursuing, which is weird.

Him not rushing to sign a new deal is not a good sign
