William Saliba 'wants to leave Arsenal'

Arsenal outcast William Saliba - who has been frozen out by Mikel Arteta - reportedly wants to leave the club this month in search of regular first-team football.

Arsenal outcast William Saliba is reportedly desperate to leave the club as he struggles for game time under Mikel Arteta.

The former Saint-Etienne man is yet to make a competitive appearance for the Gunners as he sits behind the likes of Gabriel, Rob Holding, David Luiz and Pablo Mari in the Emirates pecking order.

Saliba - who is being tipped to head out on loan this month - has been restricted to appearances for the youth teams in the 2020-21 campaign and recently claimed to have been "locked up" in the English capital.

According to L'Equipe, the 19-year-old is now keen to head for the Emirates exit door in search of more regular first-team action, and the centre-back would not be short of offers in the January transfer window.

The report claims that teams in the Netherlands, Germany, France and England are all keeping a close eye on developments, but it remains to be seen if Arsenal would only sanction a loan exit or a permanent departure.

Saliba penned a deal with the Gunners until the end of the 2023-24 season when he signed for the club in 2019.
