Loaned to Marseille for the season from Arsenal, William Saliba is thoroughly enjoying himself in the south of France.
Thriving under Jorge Sampaoli, the young centre-back has already caught the eye with his performances, with many wondering why on earth Mikel Arteta allowed to let him leave when he appears to be at a level to at least help the Gunners from time to time.
There have been rumours that Saliba could be recalled in January, but that appears to be just that, a rumour, according to Julien Maynard, a journalist for TF1.
Loaned without an option to buy, it was always expected for the player to head back to Arsenal once this season came to a close, but it appears any talk of it being cut short can be dismissed, such is the defender’s importance in Sampaoli’s plans at the moment.
