The Gunners said: “Salah returns to the Netherlands, his country of birth and where he played his club football at Feyenoord before joining us in August 2020.

“We look forward to seeing Salah’s continued development and wish him all the best this season with FC Den Bosch.”

“I hope I haven’t gone too soon on that because until things are officially done then you never quite know.

“There’s a lot of work going on and maybe there’s some things that are being speculated that are very true and some that couldn’t be any further away from the truth.”

LUTON RESPOND TO HOLDING REPORTS –

Luton manager Rob Edwards has revealed that the club have no interest in signing Rob Holding from Arsenal.

Holding is a player that has fallen well down the pecking order at the Emirates after a number of signings by Mikel Arteta and he is a player that the club are looking to sell on.

It has been claimed that a move to Luton was on the cards – but it seems that is not the case and the new Premier League side are not interested in a potential deal for the star.

When asked about the rumours, he said: “No, nothing in that one at all so I’m not sure where that came from.”
