William Saliba’s Arsenal future appears to be one of the sagas of the summer for the third year in a row. After two summers of drama leading to quite the cult following of Gunners fans surrounding the defender, Saliba might finally be returning to Arsenal. But for how long?
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has already spoken of his intentions for the 20-year-old after his season with Marseille earned him the young player of the year award in the French top tier and a place in the Ligue 1 team of the season.
“He [William Saliba] has to come back,” Mikel Arteta told RMC Sport. “He has the experience and the necessary environment to be competitive with us. If he had stayed with us this year, with one Premier League game a week and with Ben White and Gabriel, he wouldn’t have had half the game time he had with Marseille, that’s for sure.”
