William Saliba sends worrying message to Mikel Arteta

William Saliba talks about his current loan spell at Marseille.

The 20-year old was sent out on loan to Marseille this summer after spending the 2020-21 season on loan with Nice.

He was believed to be in line to replace David Luiz at Arsenal after his departure last summer.

Mikel Arteta believes he was not ready for the first team and sent him out on his second loan spell this summer.

Saliba expresses his feelings about the move to France.

“[Pablo] Longoria told me that if I wanted to reach the next level in my progression, I had to come here. If you can perform at Marseille, to play under this pressure, you can play anywhere else,” Saliba said in an interview with Telefoot, via Get French Football News.

“I hadn’t even signed yet and I was already getting messages from supporters. I’ve never seen passion like this, in this town the only thing that matters in OM.

“With [Jorge] Sampaoli, we have to give it our all from start to finish. We can’t do things half-heartedly. Sometimes I don’t put enough power on my passes and he tells me: ‘those are kids’ passes!’”
