Mikel Arteta has an ace up his sleeve, and he knows it. In one of his latest press conferences, he admitted that he regrets not having entered the Europa League with William Saliba, who signed from Saint-Etienne for his good work in France and is only 19 years old.
Well, this pearl has not yet debuted with the first team. This has drawn a lot of attention because he was widely praised for his great performance in Ligue 1. He seemed ready for the Premier League.
Six league games have gone by and his coach still hasn't given him the chance to go out on the pitch. David Luiz and Gabriel Magalhaes, with more experience, are taking all the opportunities. Will the coach make room for him?
It's already being said that he could leave the team in the summer due to his lack of opportunities to play. Watford entered the scene as a possible escape route and, in the end, the deal was not closed.
