‘Our Outgoing Business Is Pathetic’ ‘This Is A Mistake’ Fans React As Arsenal Consider Loaning 27M Signing To Another PL Club

‘Our Outgoing Business Is Pathetic’ ‘This Is A Mistake’ Fans React As Arsenal Consider Loaning 27M Signing To Another PL Club

Leeds United and Fulham are interested in taking Arsenal defender William Saliba on loan, according to reports in the French media.

Despite the club spending £27m on the 19-year-old, manager Mikel Arteta does not believe the centre-back is ready to play in the first team and is open to the player leaving on a temporary basis to gain more experience.


Supporters on Twitter are, however, perplexed as to why the Gunners would allow Saliba to leave for another Premier League team if he is isn’t ready to play in the English top-flight:

Saliba has yet to make his debut for Arsenal, which is a big surprise considering the hype around the defender following his arrival from Saint-Etienne, but his lack of games at senior level has been cited by Arteta as a major issue.

Due to injury and the curtailment of the French league season, the defender only made 17 appearances last campaign, and it is felt that he needs more matches to develop his game further.
