‘This Is Exciting Stuff’ ‘New Jaap Stam’ ‘Proper Signing’ Arsenal Fans Can’t Wait To See Prospective £27m Signing In Action

Arsenal have won the race for Saint-Etienne defender William Saliba, according to multiple reports in the English media.

The Gunners have secured the 18-year-old for €30m (£27m) with the centre-back returning on loan to France for next season.


Most fans on Twitter can’t wait to see Saliba put on an Arsenal shirt:

While some can’t understand the logic in the loan agreement that the Gunners have accepted:

With just 19 appearances in professional football, it would have been a baptism of fire if Saliba was asked to become a first-team regular straight away at Arsenal anyway.

At least this will allow the teenager to get a full campaign of senior football under his belt before he arrives at the Emirates.

The Gunners are still left woefully understaffed at centre-back, especially with the ongoing situation regarding Laurent Koscielny. Manager Unai Emery will surely want to strengthen the centre of defence before the transfer window closes.
