Arsenal are reportedly weighing up a summer move for Saint-Étienne defender William Saliba.

Saliba has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign for Les Verts, making 19 appearances across all competitions.

According to El Confidencial, Gunners scouts were left impressed by the 18-year-old after his seamless adjustment to first-team football.

Saint-Étienne do not want to sell Saliba – who signed a four-year deal in April – but could entertain offers between €20-30m.

With Shkodran Mustafi likely to depart and Rob Holding still recovering from a cruciate ligament injury, Unai Emery is keen to bolster his defensive options.

Getafe defender Djené Dakonam and Grêmio colossus Walter Kannemann are also on their shortlist.
