Mikel Arteta must fulfil William Saliba promise amid Arsenal transfer temptations

And so, the curious case of William Saliba has taken another turn.

Just as speculation surrounding the Arsenal star had seemingly come to an end, amid Mikel Arteta's announcement that the Frenchman will be part of the club's plan next season, it's been stoked back up all over again. According to Media Foot, Marseille remain intent on re-signing the centre-back and it appears a summer move still isn't totally out of the question.

Despite suggestions the Gunners are set to reward Saliba with a fresh contract in the coming months, the French outlet insist the north Londoners are currently considering all options. Arsenal will reportedly listen to proposals for the promising 21-year-old, having identified Saliba's compatriot and Wolfsburg centre-back Maxence Lacroix as his potential replacement, should they see fit to allow the defender to depart.
