Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has suggested that discussions regarding William Saliba's future are due to take place in the coming weeks.
Despite being kept at the Emirates Stadium for the first half of the season, the Frenchman is yet to make a single appearance for the senior side.
That has inevitably led to the 19-year-old being linked with a temporary move away from the Gunners during the January transfer window.
At a time when his options have been boosted by the returns of Pablo Mari and Calum Chambers, Arteta has acknowledged that he wants to find a solution for the Frenchman.
Speaking to reporters, Arteta said: "It's something that we are discussing at the moment. The best thing for us to do. It will be decided soon."
Saliba featured for the club's Under-21 side earlier this week, picking up a late red card in a 3-0 defeat at AFC Wimbledon.
