William Saliba is happy and settled at Olympique Marseille.
The Sun says Arsenal are struggling to convince Saliba that his future is at the Emirates and could be forced to cash in on the young defender in the summer.
The French Under-21 international has yet to play a single game for the Gunners since he was signed from Saint-Etienne in a £27million deal in the summer of 2019.
But he is currently earning rave reviews on loan at Marseille, where boss Jorge Sampaoli has described him as 'a future great of French football'.
And Saliba is in no rush to return to Arsenal because he feels his talents are not appreciated by manager Mikel Arteta.
Saliba, 20, has still not forgotten how he was prevented from playing in the 2020 French Cup final against PSG.
He had been loaned back to Saint-Etienne for the season but the agreement expired before the final because of the pandemic.
And though Arsenal were happy to extend his stay by a fortnight, they were not prepared to pay the extra £2.25m which Saint-Etienne were demanding if he played against PSG.
