Arsenal boss Arteta rules out Saliba loan exit

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says there's no plans to send William Saliba away on-loan.

There were high hopes for the French centre-back when he returned from last season's loan spell at Saint Etienne over the summer, with many believing he would become a first-choice name in Arteta's defence.

But as of yet he has yet to make an appearance, with rumours that the 19-year-old is struggling to settle in England.

There were some suggestions he could make a move to a lower-league club before the end of the domestic transfer window on Friday, with the likes of Brentford touted as a possible destination.

But when asked about whether he thinks any players will leave on loan in the coming days, Arteta replied: “Not at the moment."
