William Saliba may have signalled his intention for next season, but there's still a lot of work for Arsenal to do if they want to avoid finding themselves in an all-too-familiar position come next summer.
The Frenchman - who scooped the 2021/22 Ligue 1 Young Player of the Season award as well as being named in Ligue 1’s Team of the Season alongside the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Marquinhos and Aurelien Tchouameni during a successful loan spell with Marseille - has revealed that he's heading back to his parent club to fight for his place in Mikel Arteta's strongest line-up.
"I belong to Arsenal. I still have two years left," Saliba said in an interview with French television programme Telefoot on Sunday morning. "I will be back with Arsenal. I have played zero matches, and I still want to show them my true face and have the chance to play for these fans and this great club."
