"Yes we have been as a club always in touch," Arteta said after Saliba's starring role in a 0-0 draw against PSG in October.
"They went to see the game as well. Edu and Ben [Knapper] were there to watch him and to keep a close eye on him and the progress that he's making.
"Obviously, he's our player and with all the loaned players that we have. At the moment, he's there, and he played a different game that week, and this is it.
"He continues to do what he needs to do, which is to play a lot of games and play them well."
