Arsenal are reportedly set to loan out defender William Saliba for the second successive season this summer.

Arsenal are reportedly set to loan out defender William Saliba for the second successive season this summer.

The 20-year-old joined the Gunners from St Etienne for around £27m in July 2019, but he was unable to break into the first team and was subsequently loaned out to Nice for the 2020-21 campaign.

According to the Daily Mail, Mikel Arteta is now considering another loan for Saliba for next season to a fellow Premier League club.

Newcastle United are believed to be interested in the Frenchman, while Arsenal could potentially use Saliba in a deal to bring Brighton & Hove Albion centre-back Ben White to the Emirates.

White has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal in recent weeks, and the north London club are understood to have had a £40m bid rejected for the defender.

Saliba made 30 appearances across all competitions for Nice last season, scoring once on the final day of the campaign in a 3-2 victory against Lyon. body check tags ::
