Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes that there will be room for William Saliba in the Gunners squad next season.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes that there could be room for William Saliba at the Emirates for the 2022-23 season.

The 20-year-old is yet to make a first-team appearance for the Gunners since joining from Saint-Etienne and is currently in his third loan spell away from the club at Marseille.

Saliba has earned plenty of plaudits for his performances at the Orange Velodrome - in particular his last-ditch tackle on Kylian Mbappe in Le Classique - which has led to calls from Arsenal fans to integrate him into the first team next season.

Arteta has now responded to those calls, telling reporters: "As a club we are always in touch. Edu and Ben [Knapper] were there to watch him [against PSG] and keep a close eye on the progress he's making. Obviously, he's our player.

"I think there is room. It will depend on what happens with other players and that's not a conversation to have now."

Saliba has already made 12 appearances for Marseille in all competitions this season but has only turned out eight times for Arsenal's Under-23s so far.
