Arsenal defender William Saliba has copped a one month ban in France over a video shot three years ago.

The Mirror says Saliba has reportedly been slapped with a one-month suspended ban by the French FA after an X-rated video he was involved in went viral earlier this year.

The 20-year-old centre-back is currently on loan at Ligue 1 team Nice from Arsenal until the end of the season after he failed to break into the first-team at the Emirates.

He has largely impressed back in his native France, making 15 league appearances and becoming an important part of the side.

But there was controversy when a video, which is believed to be around three years old, surfaced earlier this season.

The French Football Federation have investigated the video, and deemed it 'harmful to the image of the federation and of football as a whole.'

And according to RMC Sport Saliba has been handed his punishment - but will not be prevented from playing any games due to the fact it is a suspended sentence.
