Arsenal have been handed a fresh threat to the future of William Saliba amid strong interest from Marseille. The 21-year-old defender proved himself to be one of Europe's brightest prospects while impressing out on loan with the French giants.
Saliba, whose contract at the Emirates Stadium expires in 2024, featured 36 times in Ligue 1 for the Olympians, steering Jorge Sampaoli's side to a silver medal finish behind Paris Saint-Germain. The France international played a key role in Marseille's success and, now having returned to north London, he's set for a breakthrough campaign.
Despite a highly-anticipated future at Arsenal, the French side have shown no incline to surrender their interest in the defender, according to Fabrizio Romano. It's said that Marseille are 'in love' and continue to 'dream' of welcoming Saliba back to the Stade Vélodrome.
