Real Madrid are threatening Arsenal's plans for William Saliba.

The Mirror says Saliba is back on loan at Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1 this season, following his summer £27million switch to the Emirates from the French club.

The defender is reportedly among three young stars Real boss Zinedine Zidane is looking at to unearth the next generation for the Bernabeu.

The others are also French. They are Monaco's Benoit Badiashile and Marseille's Boubacar Kamara.

And it's claimed Arsenal will look for at least £50m if they decide to sell.
