William Saliba will reportedly look to secure a temporary exit away from Arsenal at the start of 2021.
Having spent last season on loan at Saint-Etienne, Saliba had been expected to feature regularly for the Gunners during the current campaign.
However, the 19-year-old has not played a single minute of senior football, partly as a result of being left out of Arsenal's Europa League squad.
According to But Football Club, the youngster has made it clear that he wants to be provided with a loan move during the January window.
Mikel Arteta has acknowledged that the prospect could be allowed to move elsewhere unless he moves up the pecking order over the next two months.
Saint-Etienne could return with a fresh bid for Saliba after missing out on another loan deal in the summer.
