William Saliba 'WILL be welcomed back by Arsenal next season and integrated into the first team after impressing at Marseille' - the £27m defender's third loan spell since arriving in north London

William Saliba is set to be integrated into Arsenal's first-team from next season after his loan at Marseille comes to an end, according to reports.

The French defender first moved to the Emirates Stadium in a £27million transfer back in the summer of 2019, but is yet to make a competitive outing for the Gunners having spent the past two years back on loan in France.

Questions were raised among Arsenal fans when the 20-year-old was put out on loan to a third different club earlier this year, with his Marseille move following stints at former club Saint-Etienne and Nice.
