Mikel Arteta is expected to play William Saliba against Everton in a pre-season friendly on Saturday night... a chance for him to impress against a Premier League team.
Arsenal take on Frank Lampard's side in Baltimore with the game kicking off at midnight (UK time). It will be the first time the France international, 21, has played under Arteta since completing an impressive season-long loan spell at French giants Marseille.
Saliba has never played a senior competitive game for Arsenal since joining the club from Saint-Etienne for £27million three years ago. His only professional appearances in a Gunners shirt have come in EFL Trophy fixtures against Gillingham and Wimbledon.
