The French defender has linked up with Marseille on loan, but only after the Gunners tried to line up a deal that would keep him in England
William Saliba admits that he ignored Arsenal's transfer advice when he "pushed and pushed" for a loan move to Marseille.
The highly-rated defender will spend the 2021-22 campaign back in his homeland after seeing a season-long deal put in place - having spent a few months with Nice last term.
Those at Emirates Stadium had been eager to see the 20-year-old remain in England, as they look to unlock his full potential, but those pleas fell on deaf ears.
