Kylian Mabppe has applauded Arsenal starlet William Saliba after the youngster made his debut for France during their 2-1 win over Ivory Coast.
Saliba, who joined the Gunners for a reported £27million back in 2019, has enjoyed an extremely productive campaign with Marseille, registering 14 clean sheets for Jorge Sampaoli's side this term - a hugely impressive feat when you consider that he is still just 21-years-old. The talented defender's consistent displays earned him a place in Didier Deschamps ' squad for friendlies against Ivory Coast and South Africa and he made his debut against the former on Friday night, impressing Deschamps in the process.
Speaking about Saliba and former Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi, he said: "No I wasn't scared. It's good for [Saliba and Guendouzi], even if I would have preferred [the cheers] to be for everyone. They are two young players who have a lot of maturity.
