Jamie O’Hara has issued an apology to William Saliba after admitting that the Arsenal defender had proved him wrong with his recent performances.
Saliba was signed for Arsenal from Saint-Etienne way back in the summer of 2019 for £27million. Many pundits and supporters were confused by the Gunners’ approach, which saw the young centre-back spend the next three seasons on loan in France, most recently with Marseille.
The 21-year-old finally made his first-team debut for Arsenal earlier this month and it already seems like he was worth the wait. Saliba shone in Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on the opening day of the Premier League season and kept his place in the heart of Mikel Arteta’s defence for the 4-2 victory against Leicester last weekend.
