'It feels good to be back!': Arsenal defender William Saliba says he's willing 'to fight and work with the team' after two years of loan spells - and shines in Gunners' pre-season win over Everton

Arsenal defender William Saliba has sent a defiant message after returning to the club from his loan - claiming that he's ready 'to fight and work with the team' ahead of the new season.

The current Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year was signed from St Etienne in 2019 but has spent the last two years back in France on loan at Nice and Marseille respectively.

Having returned to the Gunners ahead of the 2022-23 season, the Frenchman has insisted it's 'good to be back and start pre-season' after starring in their 2-0 win over Everton in Baltimore.
