Arsenal youngster William Saliba 'wants to stay in the UK' if he is to make another loan move away from the club in January.
The French defender is yet to make a senior appearance under Mikel Arteta this season after returning to north London from a loan spell at boyhood club Saint-Etienne.
Arteta deemed Saliba not ready for selection during the summer and was willing to let him return to Saint-Etienne on loan before a move broke down when the formalities could not be completed.
He was then left out of the Europa League squad and has found his chances of action affected by Arsenal's depth at centre back.
