William Saliba was supposed to be a key member of Arsenal’s first team this season after he joined them from Saint Etienne last summer.
The French teenager was expected to become a regular starter when he joined the club, but Mikel Arteta has realized he still has things to hone in his defense.
The Gunners were expected to send him on loan for this season with Fulham and Brentford ready to sign him temporarily.
Both teams have until the 16th of this month to complete the temporary move, but it appears that Arsenal have changed their minds.
Athletic say the defender is now expected to remain at Emirates until at least the January transfer window.
He claims that Arteta has changed his mind about sending him on loan and the Frenchman is expected to remain in the Emirates for now.
It will be hard for him to play for the Gunners, who have so many options in central defense, Arteta didn’t even trust him to play in the Carabao Cup and now that the Gunners are at the commercial end of the competition they are likely to still overlook him. .
