Doubt has been casted over the future of William Saliba at Arsenal ahead of next season following comments from Marseille boss Jorge Sampaoli. The 21-year-old has impressed on loan at the French giants this season, proving himself to be one of Europe's most exciting young talents.
Saliba has featured 35 times for Marseille in Ligue 1, steering the club within touching distance of sealing Champions League qualification. In an interview with French outlet RMC Sport in the summer, the defender claimed that Mikel Arteta told him that he wasn't ready and the Spaniard has since been left to rue his decision.
He has since grown into one of France's most acclaimed defenders whilst on loan this season. While many Arsenal fans may be keen to see the centre-half return to London Colney in the summer and bolster the north London side's backline, Sampaoli has claimed that there's a 'possibility' that Saliba could turn his loan spell into a permanent switch in the upcoming transfer window.
