William Saliba makes untimely transfer admission amid Arsenal's centre-back crisis for Newcastle

Arsenal loanee William Saliba has said that he is still unsure whether he'll be playing in Ligue 1 or returning to Arsenal to compete for a first-team place next season.

Saliba was awarded the Ligue 1 Young Player of the Season award over the weekend following a stellar 2021/22 campaign in France. The 21-year-old has played nearly every minute of the league season for Les Olympiens, keeping 13 clean sheets over 36 appearances. He has helped the side reach third so far, level on points with Monaco in second, the final Champions League spot, with one game left to play and just four goals separating the two.

The Frenchman's displays earned him a senior national team call-up too, making two appearances for Les Bleus back in March. It's no small feat, with the loan move clearly working wonders for his progression.
