An Arsenal player who filmed his teammate masturbating in the locker room is under investigation

The French Football Federation will launch an investigation into the behavior of defender William Saliba, who posted on social media a recording of a sexual act of his teammate.

Saliba is owned by Arsenal, but currently plays on loan in Nice.

A video appeared on Saliba's Snapchat channel in which his teammate masturbated in the locker room.

The video, which French media say is three years old, shows a smiling Saliba in a French national team suit, after which he turns the camera to show his teammate standing next to him, watching a video and masturbating. The video was published and then deleted from the account of the 19-year-old Frenchman.

According to RMC Sport, the French federation has set up a special disciplinary commission, as the video has been described as "damaging to the federation's reputation and French football".

The teenager arrived at Arsenal for the sum of 27 million euros from Saint-Etienne, after which he was sent on loan to Nice.
