William Saliba will play his first North London Derby on Saturday. It comes more than three years after he signed for the Gunners back in 2019, but finally, he will have his chance to show what he can do.
To imagine Saliba playing in a match with Tottenham for Arsenal as little ago as last year might have been difficult for most. However, hearing what Mikel Arteta has to say about the 21-year-old now and there is no debate around how he is appreciated by the club.
Speaking ahead of the North London Derby, Arteta said that he has no doubts about the Frenchman. It is clear the Arsenal manager now sees him as a critical part of the side.
