Marseille boss Jorge Sampaoli has expressed his "hope" over keeping Arsenal defender William Saliba beyond the end of the season.
The Frenchman joined the Ligue 1 side at the start of the season by signing a loan deal until the end of the campaign. The former Saint-Etienne man has impressed in his home country throughout the season.
The 21-year-old has made 50 appearances in all competitions under Sampaoli so far and has played a key role in the French side’s run to the Europa Conference League semi-finals, whilst Les Olympiens are currently occupying second in the Ligue 1 standings with just two matches of the season remaining.
