Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says that William Saliba was getting used to London before preseason.
Saliba has recently joined the team and played in their pre-season friendly against MK Dons.
The Frenchman may get Premier League game time early in the campaign, as the club has several defenders injured at the moment.
"He's been training really hard," Arteta told the club's website.
"He stayed here in London to do a better preparation and you can tell that he looks ready.
"Obviously there are a lot of things that are new for him and he will need to adapt but certainly he has the right qualities for this football club and as well the right attitude to keep improving and showing the player he can be for our future."
