Matteo Guendouzi and William Saliba 'BOTH set to complete loans to Marseille'

Arsenal duo Matteo Guendouzi and William Saliba are set to complete loan moves to Marseille, with the former moving permanently after his temporary spell ends, according to reports.

Guendouzi has endured a nightmare spell at the Emirates Stadium under current Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, who exiled the young French midfielder from first-team training in June 2020 due to disciplinary reasons.

Saliba, meanwhile, has yet to appear for Arsenal in a competitive game since his £25million move from Saint-Etienne in 2019 after loan spells at his former club and Nice.
