William Saliba could FINALLY get his chance to fight for Arsenal spot next season as Mikel Arteta insists 'there is room' for the Frenchman in his Gunners plans as defender impresses on Marseille loan

William Saliba is playing his way back into Mikel Arteta's plans down on the French Riviera, with the Arsenal boss weighing-up the centre-back's role next season.

The 20-year-old is playing a crucial role at Marseille during a season-long loan at the French side, his third short-stay stint since joining Arsenal for £27m back in 2019.

Saliba bossed PSG in a 0-0 draw between the fierce Ligue 1 rivals, with the towering, technical centre-back keeping Messi, Neymar, Mbappe and Di Maria quiet – all under the watchful eye of his parent club.
