William Saliba has been on the radar of the North London outfit for a number of months and it is claimed that there is a will by the Gunners team to land him before the end of the summer window.

Unai Emery is reported to be desperate on the star player, having known him and his quality when he was in the French League. This adds to the fact that William Saliba is young and has more years to play.

Meanwhile, it has been claimed that the Ligue 1 club are willing to let him go but they must cash in the sum of €30m for his signature.
