Arsenal loanee William Saliba has revealed that it was “special” to sign for the club 2019, but being dropped to the youth team also hurt him. The Frenchman has since impressed in Ligue 1, with huge question marks hanging over his future.
The 21-year-old is currently at Marseille for the season, where he has made 36 league appearances, winning over the home crowd during that time. So impressive were his displays, Saliba won the Young Player of the Year award in the league, previously won by the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Aurelien Tchouameni.
It remains to be seen exactly how he fits at the Emirates though, with Ben White and Gabriel Magalhaes the current pairing for Mikel Arteta. That has left questions over his future, with some suggestion that he could return to Les Olympiens in the summer.
