Manchester United star Raphael Varane has handed Arsenal a huge boost in the race for the Premier League title. That's according to former Chelsea defender William Gallas, who has claimed that William Saliba will have learned a lot from his fellow countryman at the World Cup.
Saliba featured just once for France at the World Cup, appearing off the bench in Les Bleus' final group stage clash. The Arsenal defender enjoyed a brief second-half cameo as Didier Deschamps' side were defeated 1-0 by Tunisia.
While the 21-year-old wasn't granted as much game time in Qatar as he would have liked, Saliba would have picked up invaluable experience from his peers on the World stage. Though, one consolation for the Gunners is that their star centre-half will return to London Colney ready and raring to go with little need for an extended break.
