William Saliba has been sensational for Arsenal so far in the Premier League this season. His defensive excellence was met by his attacking capabilities as he scored his first goals for the Gunners with a wonder strike against Bournemouth and a precise header against Brentford.
The Frenchman has brought a sense of calmness and assertiveness to Mikel Arteta’s defence which was evidently lacking last season. More interestingly, he has also added speed to the backline, which is also crucial to playing a high line.
He has received all the plaudits this season, while his partner Gabriel Magalhaes has been a victim of a lot of backlash in the early months of the campaign. However, he has been supported by an Arsenal Invincible defender which is arguably the most important opinion of all.
