Arsenal defender William Saliba could face a probe over a leaked Snapchat video featuring a naked team-mate masturbating.

The Frenchman, who is currently on loan at Ligue 1 side Nice, has come under fire after the release of the clip, which emerged overnight but is believed to date back three years ago.

It shows the youngster smiling before panning the camera round to show a fellow player lying next to him who is undressed.

Now Saliba could find himself in hot water with the French Football Federation, according to RMC Sport, which claims an investigation is now underway.

The FFF considers the video harmful to the image of France’s governing body and football as a whole.

It has been a difficult season for Saliba who found himself cast out of Arsenal’s squad this term, with Gunners boss Mikel Arteta leaving him out of his Premier League and Europa League squads, stressing that the player lacks first team experience.

He has been vocal about his frustrations with a lack of game time at the Emirates and joked he was ‘locked up’ in north London in December after being prevented from playing any competitive games for the club.

On Tuesday he took a swipe at the Spanish boss for ‘judging him on two-and-a-half games’ before deciding he wasn’t in his plans for the season. He added he felt much happier in France because he feels ‘part of a team’.
