William Saliba: Playing for Arsenal reserves a slap in the face

Arsenal defender William Saliba has again spoken of his disappointment last season.

Saliba lasted six months in London before leaving on-loan for Nice.

Now on a season-long deal with Marseille, Saliba told RMC: "Before moving to Arsenal, I told myself that I would play, I was sure of it.

"I was not interested in who I would play with.

"Then after arriving, I played zero matches. I played for the youth team. It was a good slap in the face."
