When his team hosts Forest at The Emirates on Saturday, Arteta will be itching to see them go back to winning ways.
However, the North London team is rumored to have made a decision over the future of one of its key players in the interim.
Despite interest from Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid, Arsenal will turn down any bids for center-back William Saliba, reports Shoot.
Arsenal maintains that the player is not for sale, despite the European champions reportedly keeping an eye on the Frenchman as they look for a new central defender.
Saliba, 23, returned to the French team on loan after joining the Gunners from Saint-Etienne in 2019.
After that, he went on loan to Nice and Marseille, two more Ligue 1 teams, before coming back to London and making an impression on Arteta’s team in 2022.
The France international has already made 98 appearances for Arsenal in all competitions, and according to the report, the team considers him an essential member of the team and is thus unwilling to let go of the defender.
