Arsenal defender William Saliba has admitted his loan move to Marseille was exactly what he needed.

The Frenchman has been excellent during his loan spell so far, making eight appearances across all competitions.

And Saliba is loving the challenge of playing for one of France's biggest clubs.

He said, via L'Equipe: "We've done a big start to the season, even if the three last games haven't been positive with two losses in Ligue 1.

"We're going to come back to try and win. I have been welcomed really well by my teammates and the fans.

"For me, it's a very good choice, it's the club I needed, with a very good pressure. At my age, it's good to play in a stadium like that."
