Arsenal loanee William Saliba has said that he is still unsure whether he'll be playing in Ligue 1 or returning to Arsenal to compete for a first-team place next season.

Saliba was awarded the Ligue 1 Young Player of the Season award over the weekend following a stellar 2021/22 campaign in France. The 21-year-old has played nearly every minute of the league season for Les Olympiens, keeping 13 clean sheets over 36 appearances. He has helped the side reach third so far, level on points with Monaco in second, the final Champions League spot, with one game left to play and just four goals separating the two.

The Frenchman's displays earned him a senior national team call-up too, making two appearances for Les Bleus back in March. It's no small feat, with the loan move clearly working wonders for his progression.

Amidst his impressive form however, there's still uncertainty over his future. understands the plan is for the Gunners to open preliminary talks regarding a new contract towards the end of his loan spell, but Saliba has once again reiterated that he's unsure about where his future lies.

"It's an honour, a source of pride. I dedicate this trophy to my team-mates, my club and the supporters,' he said at Sunday's awards ceremony in Paris,"
