William Saliba wants to leave Arsenal this month?

Arsenal defender William Saliba is reportedly desperate to leave the club after failing to break into the first-team plans under Mikel Arteta.

The 19-year-old returned from his temporary deal at Saint-Etienne in the summer, but he has since been waiting for his first-team debut.

Gabriel, Rob Holding, David Luiz and Pablo Mari are all ahead of him in the selection order and hence, he has been fancied to head out on loan.

According to L'Equipe, the centre-back is keen to pursue a new challenge away from the Gunners and he won't be short of offers.

It is added that the Gunners are willing to consider bids and there is the possibility that the Frenchman could also leave on a permanent deal.

Saliba was signed from Saint-Etienne for around £28m in the summer of 2018, but the transfer package is said to involve several instalments.

The north London giants could be tempted to sanction his sale, suppose they are able to recoup the entire transfer fee this month.
