Arsenal loanee offers shock Gunners verdict with William Saliba challenge ahead

Arsenal loanee Auston Trusty has labelled his parent club the best in the world as Mikel Arteta's men look to extend their lead at the top of the table. Trusty, 24, was signed over the summer from Colorado Rapids and has since been sent out on loan to Birmingham City.

Whilst the Blues have had a rocky time in the Championship, Trusty has been able to watch his new side from afar and has been left extremely impressed. He has seen his progression blocked off slightly with the signing of Jakub Kiwior in January and the settled first choice duo of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes picked consistently this season.

There is hope that Trusty can take his first experiences in English football up a notch next season though, especially with Rob Holding entering the final 18 months of his deal in north London. With four goals this season from defence already, he certainly has something to offer.
