Deschamps admits Arsenal pair Guendouzi, Saliba part of France future

France coach Didier Deschamps admits he's been impressed by Arsenal pair Matteo Guendouzi and William Saliba.

The duo are on-loan at Marseille and now part of Deschamps' France squad.

Deschamps said: "They are two players who are young but who have a lot of maturity.

"Matteo, with what he does with OM, he already has a lot of determination and desire, that doesn't bother him.

"William is incredibly calm, to use a local expression. It's something that boosts rather than hearing whistles. It's good, I try to give them playing time to see them in relation to what awaits us for the future and each time they make sure to take advantage of these playing times."

Guendouzi will sign permanently with OM in June.
