Gabriel Martinelli and William Saliba both joined Arsenal in the summer of 2019, but it's safe to say their journeys since have been the polar opposite. Although, they are on course to be reunited for the 2022/23 season.
Whilst the Brazilian was immediately integrated into the first-team picture following his move from Ituano, Saliba headed back to Saint-Etienne on loan to continue his development during the 2019/2020 campaign and has enjoyed two further loan spells back in France ever since. As a result, the 21-year-old is still yet to make a single senior appearance for Arsenal following his £27million transfer and it remains to be seen if he will be handed an opportunity to finally kick-start his career in north London next season as important talks regarding his future are imminent.
Currently enjoying a productive loan spell with Marseille which has come with the reward of a call-up to the France senior squad for the first time, Saliba has admitted he would be open to extending his stay with the Ligue 1 outfit but concedes the final decision rests with his parent club.
