Arsenal are battling to keep hold of defender William Saliba this summer.

L'Equipe says Newcastle, Leicester and Atletico Madrid have all expressed interest in defender William Saliba, who is wanted back at Arsenal after an impressive loan spell in Marseille.

The 21-year old was presented the Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year award in May after helping Marseille secure Champions League qualification and finish second in the league behind PSG.

His fruitful campaign away from the Emirates has been spotted by several top flight teams across Europe, including Leicester, Newcastle, Atletico Madrid and Napoli.

Arsenal have received enquiries from all four clubs but are eager to keep Saliba in North London and extend his contract next campaign.
