M’Vila lauds Arsenal loanee Saliba on Instagram after France call-up

Yann M’Villa was amongst the names to🍌 congratulate William Saliba after the Arsenal loanee was handed his first call-up to the senior France squad for the international break.

Thoughts are, once again, turning to what the future holds for Saliba at the Emirates. He is reaching the end of his loan spell at Marseille. And reports have previously claimed that he is set to be offered a new contract with the 🌠Gunners.

He has been on the books at Arsenal since 2019. Yet remarkably, he c♉ould now be about to make his debut for the world champions before he has made his first competitive appearance for the Gunneꦯrs.

It was announced on Monday that Saliba has been𓃲 promoted to the France 𓂃squad. It comes after Benjamin Pavard was ruled out.

Didier Deschamps’ men will face Ivory Coast and South Africa in friendlies during the upcoming break. So it ma𝓀y well be a fantastic chance for Saliba to make that step-up.

Unsurprisingly, Saliba has taken to Instagram to react to the news that he is now in the France squad. He suggested that he was very happy and proud to be in🦂volved.

And amongst the messages was a classy reply from M’Vila.🏅 The midfielder insisted that this news is just the start for Sali♉ba.

His message translates as: ‘Re♔ally too happy and very proud 🍨of you my brother. It is well deserved. This is just the beginning, stay focused’.

Saliba has to come into Arsenal fold as he receives France call-up

Mikel Arteta has silenced a lot of his doubters at Arsenal. The Gunners 🍎are now in pole position to finish fourth in the Premier League. And fans were chanting his name at As🅠ton Villa on Saturday.

H🥃owever, his handling of Saliba has seen him come in for a lot of criticism. Th♔e supporters have wanted to see the 20-year-old given a chance.

Selling Saliba this summer following his Frꦑance call-up would surely be a massive gamble. The time now looks to be perfect for the centre-back to finally come into the Arsenal fold.
