Edu claims Arsenal 'need to talk' to Saliba & says Gunners are missing a creative midfielder

The defender is yet to make a competitive appearance for the club, while ostracised Mesut Ozil's creative talents are being sorely missed

Arsenal technical director Edu has said that the club “need to talk” to William Saliba regarding the young centre-back's future, whilst also admitting that the Gunners are missing a creative spark in the middle of the field.

Saliba signed for Arsenal 18 months ago and was immediately loaned back to Saint-Etienne for the season, with the 19-year-old having been tipped to play a key role for his new club in the 2020-21 campaign.
