Arsenal fans are furious as Fabrizio Romano has posted an update on the future of William Saliba at the north London club.

The Sky Italia reporter tweeted that the Gunners board have zero interest in selling Saliba.

However, the outrage from Arsenal fans stems from the claim that the defender was allowed to leave the club for the third time in the first place.

Saliba joined Arsenal in 2019 from Saint-Etienne. However, the centre-back is yet to kick a ball for the senior team.

The youngster’s only playing time with the Gunners has come in friendlies or at U-23 level.

Arsenal are set to sign Ben White from Brighton and Hove Albion this summer, meaning Saliba is once again surplus to requirements.

Indeed, Gunners are currently in Scotland to take part in two pre-season friendlies against Hibernian and SPL champions Rangers.
