Arsenal transfer news: Unai Emery is ready to battle it out for William Saliba of Saint-EtienneThe French defender might only be 18 years old but his performances in Ligue 1 have caught the attention of Europe’s top clubs with Arsenal and Manchester United among those reportedly showing interest. And it is Unai Emery who is currently in pole position to secure the services of the defender, report French publication Le 10 Sport. But given the player’s age one more season in the French league is unlikely to hurt his development. The report suggests Arsenal are not against the idea of meeting Saint-Etienne’s requests but have yet to make a formal bid for the player. And one former player who knows what it takes to be successful at Arsenal is also backing the transfer.
