As an Arsenal fan, it's frustrating for us to watch our north London rivals Tottenham sign Ndombele for a whopping 60million pounds while we're still mulling over a 30million pounds fee for a player we really need in order to upgrade our defense.
An 18-year-old wouldn't be an upgrade but at least we won't have to worry about Mustafi messing every game up.
The main sticking point for Arsenal's pursuit of Saliba is the structure of payments, with St-Etienne insisting the defender will stay on loan for the following campaign.
It has been claimed that the player has already agreed on personal terms with Arsenal.
Well, It is understood that Arsenal is negotiating a deal that would see the 18-year-old loaned straight back to the Ligue 1 side next season, with the defender joining Arsenal's squad for the beginning of the 2020/21 season.
That deal would help ease the strain on the Gunners transfer budget this summer as they look to get transfers for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, and Celtic defender Kieran Tierney over the line.

That deal would help ease the strain on the Gunners transfer budget this summer as they look to get transfers for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, and Celtic defender Kieran Tierney over the line.
Saint Etienne president Roland Romeyer said last week that the defender would be staying in Ligue 1 for another season.
"He will stay at the club this season," he said.
"It is an imperative condition should we come to an agreement for his transfer. It's also William's wish."
Saliba made 19 appearances for St Etienne in all competitions last season and was rewarded with a new contract which expires in the summer of 2023.
