‘Really really sad’: Arsenal fans react as William Saliba set for January move

Arsenal fans have been having their say on Twitter as news has emerged that William Saliba is looking to force a move in January.

The Daily Mail claims Saliba is willing to take a hefty paycut to seal a move away from the Gunners, whether that be on a loan or permanent move.

Arsenal are unlikely to sanction a permanent move just yet, given they paid around £27m to land Saliba and he has only just returned in the summer from a successful loan spell with St Etienne. However, Mikel Arteta has not selected him in his 25-man squads and he seems firmly down the pecking order at The Emirates.

A loan move, then, seems likely for Saliba in the coming weeks, with both parties said to be open to that being the conclusion here.

Some Gunners fans, though, are not overly impressed with the situation, with some more than a little confused as to how it’s come to this for Saliba after there being so much promise in the summer.
