Arsenal are reportedly hoping to send 19-year-old defender William Saliba on loan to a championship club next week.
Despite the transfer window coming to an end on Monday, Premier League clubs can still do business with Championship clubs until October 16.
And this has opened the possibility of Arsenal finding a temporary home for their teenage center-back, who this week was omitted from Mikel Arteta’s Europa League call-up, according to Goal.
Saliba has yet to appear for the Gunners this season, and came close to rejoining former club Saint-Etienne on loan for the second time in this window.
But a change did not materialize before the transfer window closed Monday night.
Saint-Etienne has been unhappy with the Gunners for allowing Saliba’s proposed loan to go through, despite reaching an agreement “long before the transfer window closed.”
Aspiring promotion Brentford are one of the clubs that have reportedly expressed an interest in taking on Saliba, and Premier League appearances this season are likely to be in short supply.
Arsenal manager Edu has hinted that there is more business to come from the club in the coming week, saying: ‘We won’t stop. Of course we are open. We never stop. ‘
Saliba was hired for £ 27 million last year, but was immediately sent to France to hone his game for another season.
But two serious injuries limited him to just 15 appearances before the Ligue 1 campaign was shortened and eventually canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
