Saliba wants to show Arsenal fans his ‘true face’ as he confirms Gunners return

William Saliba says he is ready to show his “true face” to Arsenal fans as he confirms he will return to play his part at the club next season.

The centre-back has had an excellent season on loan at French side Marseille, where he helped the club finish second behind champions Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1.

Saliba was voted Ligue 1’s Young Player of the Year after starting 36 of 38 league matches during his season-long loan deal from the Gunners.

However, he has now given up on that with the centre-back confirming he will return to Arsenal to compete with Ben White and Gabriel for a starting berth in Mikel Arteta’s side.
