Kike Marin is meant to be decent RE arsenal stuff, mind their fans slated him a few days ago for saying they weren't in for pepe
I could be wrong but, if Kike Marin is decent about Arsenal stuff, and he appears to be, then that's because he has a source within Arsenal.
And so if Kike Marin says Saliba prefers Arsenal, that's because an Arsenal source has told him that.
However, the only way that Arsenal, or any source within Arsenal, would know this is if the agent told them this.
And, frankly, if you were the agent, you would tell Arsenal that. But then you'd tell Tottenham the same.
Because your interests, and the player's interests, are best served by keeping everybody sweet.
And/or playing both parties off against each other.
Because you have less leverage if only one party is involved.
So it may well be that Saliba prefers Arsenal.
Or it may well be that Arsenal are just less able to keep their information quiet than Tottenham are.
Time will tell.
But I wouldn't go wetting the bed just yet.
Especially now it's bedtime.
