William Saliba continues to be linked with a move away from Arsenal, with the youngster reportedly stating that he is keen to stay at Marseille following a successful loan stint this season. The Gunners splashed out £30million to sign him from Saint-Etienne back in the summer of 2019 but he is still yet to make a single first-team appearance for the club.
football.london reported earlier this year that the north London outfit are planning discussions over a new contract with the 21-year-old come the end of the current campaign, although it still remains to be seen what the player's stance will be. Saliba has been an ever-present under Marseille boss Jorge Sampaoli and his impressive form at the Stade Velodrome hasn't gone unnoticed, earning himself Ligue 1's young player of the year award as well as his first cap for the French national team.
He now appears to have spoken of his desire to play with Samapaoli's side again next season. Speaking following Marseille’s 4-0 victory over Strasbourg, he reportedly told GFFN, he said: “I want to come back and play the Champions’ League. I have never played in it and I want to discover it here.”
