William Saliba's exit from Arsenal was celebrated by his former Saint Etienne team-mate Wesley Fofana on Instagram as he claimed his fellow Frenchman was 'finally free' after joining Nice on loan.
The centre-back suffered a nightmare start to his Gunners career as he was left out of Mikel Arteta's Premier League and Europa League squads and failed to make a single appearance in his first six months at the Emirates.
Arteta admitted he was 'fed up' about the situation and said the youngster was in need of a 'transition year' to gain experience before being ready for the first team.
