Some Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation that William Saliba is set to leave the Gunners on loan again.

What’s the story?

The Athletic reported late last night that Arsenal have decided to send Saliba out on loan in the summer transfer window.

Arsenal are trying to sign Ben White from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window.

If the former Leeds United loanee joins the Gunners, then manager Mikel Arteta will have too many centre-backs at his disposal. 

So, a decision has been made to send Saliba out on loan.

Newcastle United, Marseille and Lille are the three clubs leading the race for the 20-year-old.

The young Frenchman has picked Marseille as his next loan club, and now the Ligue 1 outfit will hope to strike a deal with Arsenal.

What are Arsenal fans saying?

As you can see from the tweets below, Arsenal fans are not happy that manager Arteta and technical director Edu are sending Saliba out on loan again.

Well, some of them anyway.

The 20-year-old spent the 2019-20 campaign on loan at Saint-Etienne.

The French youngster failed to break into the Arsenal first team in the first half of last season and was sent out on loan to Nice in the January transfer window.
