William Saliba will return to the Greens in the league at the end of the month. OGC Nice receives ASSE on Sunday January 31 at 1 p.m. (10 p.m.e Ligue 1 day). In the meantime, the defender sold by the Saint-Etienne club to the Arsenal Gunners in the summer of 2019 has reconsidered his choice to join the French Riviera.
Loaned to Nice, Saliba was presented to the press this Friday before the trip to Metz. The former ASSE defender was sidelined at Arsenal. Tracked by the Saint-Etienne club for a new loan during this winter transfer window after the failure of October, he finally chose to put himself in more difficulty.
“Nice was my favorite choice because it is a good club that I like, which always play at the top of the table and have ambition,” said the ex-Stéphanois who intends to revive. “Saint-Étienne is my home, it’s a comfort zone. I wanted to get out. “
