William Saliba says that he is open to staying at Marseille after making 49 appearances for the club on loan from Arsenal this season.

William Saliba has shown an interest in extending his stay at Marseille beyond the end of the 2021-22 season.

The defender, who signed for Arsenal in 2019, is yet to feature for the Gunners after spending the last few years in Ligue across three different loan spells.

Saliba has spent time at Saint-Etienne and Nice before returning to France to join Marseille for the current campaign.

The 21-year-old has now indicated that he is open for a return to Jorge Sampaoli's side next season.

"My wish is to finish the season well, to leave on a good note in case I don't come back," Saliba told reporters.

"It would be my pleasure to come back no matter what, it's not as if I know I'm not going to come back, it's Marseille, it's my club."

The centre-back has featured 49 times for Marseille this season, helping his side reach a Europa Conference League semi-final, while they are also battling it out for second place in Ligue 1.
