Arsenal fans have not taken the recent news about outcast defender William Saliba particularly well.
The 19-year-old was signed for a whopping €30 million in the summer, with the expectation from supporters that he would have a key part to play in solving their defensive issues.
However, with the season almost half-way through, the centre-back is yet to make a single appearance for the Gunners' first team - despite the current first team hardly doing well.

The north Londoners are 13th in the Premier League table, with manager Mikel Arteta still under pressure to improve performances despite recent victories over Brighton and Chelsea.
It now seems that Arteta doesn't want to give Saliba a single chance in the side, with French publication l'Equipe reporting that Arsenal met with the former Saint-Etienne man last week and both parties agreed to be open to a temporary or permanent move in the January transfer window.
This has set off Arsenal fans, who can't believe that their club are willing to let Saliba leave without seeing what he can do.
It has actually been a problem with goalscoring that has held back
Arsenal this season, but they have still conceded 19 times in their 16
top flight games to date.

Should Saliba get a chance? Or should Gooners trust Arteta's decision?
