William Saliba has warned Mikel Arteta that he will not be a benchwarmer for Arsenal next season as he looks to book his spot on France's flight to Qatar.
The centre-half has been impressing on loan at Marseille and is set to return to the Emirates in the summer and stake his claim for a place in Arteta's starting XI. There were rumours circulating that the Gunners would sell Saliba while his stock is high having shelled out £50million for Ben White who has formed a brilliant partnership with Gabriel this term.
Saliba has yet to make a single competitive appearance for Arsenal which has added fuel to that fire. Marseille have looked into the possibility of making the loan move permanent, as a result, but Arsenal plan to utilise his services next term.
