Jamie O'Hara apologises to "real deal" William Saliba as Arsenal's 'Barcelona' display lauded

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.
