Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Arsenal have confirmed that defender, William Saliba, has left to join Marseille on loan.<\/p>\n

The Gunners made this known in a statement on the club\u2019s official website on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The statement read: \u201cArsenal William Saliba has joined Ligue 1 side Marseille on loan for the 2021\/22 season.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast season, William spent six months on loan with Nice in Ligue 1. During his time with Nice, the 20-year-old defender made 22 appearances, with the Aiglons finishing the campaign in ninth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe France youth international joined us in a permanent deal from Saint-Etienne in July 2019 and spent the 2019\/20 back on loan with the Ligue 1 side, helping them reach the 2020 Coupe de France final.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone at Arsenal wishes William well with Marseille next season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arsenal\u2019s technical director, Edu said: \u201cTogether with William, we have decided it will be good for his continued development to spend another season on loan.<\/p>\n

\u201cWilliam is a player with strong natural ability and next season has the potential to be really beneficial for him at Marseille, a good club. To play another season in Ligue 1 will be very important for his development. We will of course be keeping in close contact with William during the season and wish him all the best in France with Marseille.\u201d<\/p>\n
