The career of William Saliba at Arsenal has been an extremely confusing one.

The Arsenal man was brought in from Ligue 1 after a transfer race between top clubs in Europe. He was seen as a potential superstar for the future. However, he never got off to a start in the Emirates and Arsenal failed to give him any minutes in the league.

He has now been loaned out to Nice until the 2020/21 season. The player should get some game time under his belt finally and hopefully come back stronger next season. At least that is what Arsenal chief Edu believes.

William Saliba is a player with a huge amount of talent and potential,” sporting director, Edu, said to the official Arsenal website.

“We’re confident he will have a great career with us but we must remember that he is still only 19 years old and has a lot of time ahead of him.

“William experienced a very challenging time last year, with his playing time limited by injury and the early ending of the Ligue 1 season due to the pandemic.

“So together with William, we have decided that spending the rest of the season on loan with Nice is the best way for him to develop.

“We will be keeping in close contact with William during his time with Nice and look forward to seeing him make good progress until the end of the season.”
