Former Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas reveals he was asked to help scout William Saliba before his move to the Gunners. It comes after the Frenchman impressed once again with his display in the North London Derby, helping his side to victory over Tottenham to go clear at the top of the Premier League.
Saliba's rise at Arsenal started with his signing back in 2019 from St. Etienne, costing roughly £30million. However, the youngster wasn't seen as ready for action in England, spending three seasons on loan, with his latest at Marseille being the one that cemented his reputation as an up and coming star.
Just eight games into his career with the Gunners and he's cemented a place for himself in the starting lineup, with plenty of praise for his displays. "What he is doing at 21 years old is rare," Mikel Arteta said of his defender, who he has entrusted with a place in the team in what is seen as a crucial season.
