Arsenal defender William Saliba 'could be sent on loan to a Championship club' after failed Saint-Etienne move and omission from Mikel Arteta's Europa League squad

Arsenal are reportedly hoping to send 19-year-old defender William Saliba on loan to a Championship club in the next week.

Despite the transfer window coming to a close on Monday, Premier League clubs can still do business with those in the Championship until October 16.

And this has opened up the possibility of Arsenal finding a temporary home for their teenage centre-back, who was this week omitted from Mikel Arteta's Europa League squad, according to Goal.

Saliba has yet to feature for the Gunners this season, and came close to rejoining former club Saint-Etienne on loan for a second time in this window.
