Arsenal are planning on opening negotiations to extend William Saliba 's Gunners contract next year once he returns from his loan spell at Marseille.
The curious case of the French defender rumbles on having still not played a minute of competitive football for Arsenal despite joining two years ago for a fee worth £27m.
Saliba arrived in north London in the summer of 2019 before being immediately sent on loan back to his former side St Etienne to gain further experience, as the centre-back was just 18 at the time.
Having not played enough during the 2019/20 campaign in the eyes of Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, Saliba was sent away on a second loan spell to Ligue 1 outfit OGC Nice.
William Saliba's time in an Arsenal shirt has been reduced to just U-23 appearances and pre-season friendlies
