Arsenal defender William Saliba has made it clear that he has no plans to leave the club, despite reports linking him with a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid.
The French centre-back has been a key player for the Gunners and remains focused on achieving success in North London.
Saliba has been named in the Premier League team of the season twice, but he is yet to win a trophy at Arsenal.
