William Saliba has been training hard in the gym ahead of his return to Arsenal, sending a strong message to manager Mikel Arteta.
The France international, 21, is expected to be part of the Gunners' pre-season tour to the United States. The squad will fly across the Atlantic shortly to face Everton, Orlando City and Chelsea in friendlies before taking on Sevilla in the Emirates Cup on July 30.
Saliba, 21, joined Arsenal in a £27million transfer three years ago but has never made a senior outing for the club, playing two EFL Trophy games for the U23s. He's spent time on loan at Saint-Etienne, Nice and Marseille and excelled during his most-recent spell in France.
