It's been confirmed that Saliba will join the French club through the end of the season.
The deal does not include an option to buy, as Saliba will return back to Arsenal at the end of the current campaign.
“William Saliba is a player with a huge amount of talent and potential. We’re confident he will have a great career with us but we must remember that he is still only 19 years old and has a lot of time ahead of him,” said Arsenal technical director Edu.
“William experienced a very challenging time last year, with his playing time limited by injury and the early ending of the Ligue 1 season due to the pandemic.

“So together with William, we have decided that spending the rest of the season on loan with Nice is the best way for him to develop. We will be keeping in close contact with William during his time with Nice and look forward to seeing him make good progress until the end of the season.”
Nice currently 12th in Ligue 1, having moved on from manager Patrick Vieira in December.
Saliba could make his debut as soon as Wednesday as Nice take on Brest.
