William Saliba is convinced he can reach the next level by playing at Marseille.
The Arsenal loanee has been a regular for the Ligue 1 side this season.
And Saliba believes he is progressing well under manager Jorge Sampaoli.
"[Pablo] Longoria told me that if I wanted to reach the next level in my progression, I had to come here. If you can perform at Marseille, to play under this pressure, you can play anywhere else," Saliba said in an interview with Telefoot, via Get French Football News.
"I hadn't even signed yet and I was already getting messages from supporters. I've never seen passion like this, in this town the only thing that matters in OM.
"With [Jorge] Sampaoli, we have to give it our all from start to finish. We can't do things half-heartedly. Sometimes I don't put enough power on my passes and he tells me: 'those are kids' passes!'"
