​AC Milan threaten Marseille plans for Arsenal defender Saliba

Italian side AC Milan are keen to sign Arsenal defender William Saliba.

The Serie A giants, who are favourites to win the league this season, are chasing after the French centre-back, per TheMirror.

Saliba is impressing on loan at Marseille this season, with the French club also eager to secure him permanently.

Since he moved to Arsenal in 2019, Saliba has not played a single competitive game for the club.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will have to decide whether he views Saliba as a future first teamer, or would prefer to cash in on the defender.

The 21-year-old has made 51 appearances for Marseille this season, which has seen him nominated for the Ligue 1 Young Player of the Award.
