Marseille midfielder Payet baffled by Arsenal management of Saliba

Olympique Marseille midfielder Dimitri Payet is baffled by Arsenal's management of William Saliba.

Saliba signed for Arsenal from St Etienne for £27million in 2019 but is still yet to play a minute of Premier League football for the Gunners.

He has been thriving while on loan at Marseille this season and Payet told L'Equipe: "The new ones have all brought something different.

"After that, I am closer to younger players. The one who has impressed me the most is Willie [Saliba].

"Considering what he's been doing since the start of the season, I don't understand why he hasn't played more for Arsenal."
