William Saliba 'set to stay at Arsenal until at least January' despite links with loan move to Brentford with Mikel Arteta ready to hand Frenchman a place in Premier League squad

William Saliba is set to remain at Arsenal until the January transfer window at least despite links with a loan move to the Championship, according to reports.

The 19-year-old defender has been linked with a move to Brentford before Friday's domestic transfer window deadline after his loan move to former club Saint-Etienne fell through on October 5 as paperwork was not completed on time.

But according to The Athletic, the Frenchman - who was signed by Arsenal in 2019 for £27million before being loaned back to the Ligue 1 side - will stay at Emirates Stadium for the next two-and-a-half months as a minimum.
