Brendan Rodgers and Gary Neville agree on William Saliba ahead of Arsenal vs Leicester

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has heaped praise upon Arsenal ahead of the clash against the Foxes this weekend.

The Gunners have spent in excess of £100million for the second successive summer transfer window, signing Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner and Marquinhos. There have been plenty of outgoings from the Emirates Stadium with Nuno Tavares and Pablo Mari leaving on-loan, whilst Bernd Leno and Lucas Torreira have left on permanent deals.

Mikel Arteta has openly admitted that he would like to add one or two more signings to his squad before the transfer deadline, but this may depend on fringe players leaving the club with Nicolas Pepe, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Reiss Nelson all facing uncertain futures in north London. The Gunners got off to a perfect start in the Premier League after a brilliant pre-season, winning 2-0 away against Crystal Palace with returning loanee William Saliba putting in an assured performance in defence, and Rodgers has claimed Arteta's side have reached a 'new level' this season.
