Arsenal are considering the option of sending out centre-back, William Saliba on loan according to reports by Sky Sports.
The French international is yet to make a senior appearance for the Gunners since returning from his loan spell at former club, St. Étienne.
In October, Saliba was left out of Mikel Arteta’s squad for the Premier League, a decision the Spanish manager said it was “hurtful” to make.
“I feel really bad for William Saliba,” Arteta said at the time. “Because we had so many central defenders, we decided to leave him out of the squad which was really hurtful for me to do.”
Saliba has featured twice for Arsenal U21s in the EFL Trophy this season, with his last appearance coming in the 3-0 defeat away at AFC Wimbledon in December – a game in which he was sent off for two bookable offences.
Arsenal have endured a poor start to the 2020/21 Premier League campaign and Sunday’s 1-0 home defeat to Burnley left them in 15th place in the table – just five points above the relegation zone.
