William Saliba admits he went against Arsenal's recommendation in signing for Olympique Marseille.

The young French defender has arrived on a season-long loan without an option to buy.

At yesterday's presentation, Saliba stated: “It was I who chose OM, Arsenal preferred that I go to England but I knew that it was the right choice here.

"I pushed and pushed for that.

“I am young, I am 20 years old. I haven't proven anything.

"I want to progress here. We feel that the training sessions are intensive, we have very few days off."
