Arsenal defender Saliba undergoing Nice medical today

Arsenal defender William Saliba is undergoing a medical with Nice today.

The Daily Mail says Saliba is discussing a loan move back to France with Nice.

The 19-year old is due to have a medical on Monday.

Saliba was bought from St Etienne in a deal worth up to £27million but has yet to make a competitive first team appearance for Arsenal with Mikel Arteta admitting he was 'fed up' with the situation.

He was sent back on loan to St Etienne last season as part of his transfer deal and made 17 appearances.

St Etienne were interested in taking him on loan again but he is now poised to join Nice, who will not pay a fee but will cover the defender's wages.
