Recognition: Arsenal loanee Saliba nominated for Ligue 1 award

By our reporter On May 4, 2022 0

Arsenal youngster, William Saliba, has been nominated for Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year award.

The centre-back is on loan at Marseille for the season, where he has been outstanding.

The youngster was signed by Unai Emery at Arsenal in 2019, but has not played for the first-team yet.

Saliba has impressed under Jorge Sampaoli this season, and Gunners coach Mikel Arteta will have to decide his future in the summer.

There are suggestions Saliba could return to Marseille for another year, if he is not a part of Arteta’s plans.

However, a direct sale is not ruled out either, given Arsenal will want to revamp other areas of their squad.
