Arsenal's transfer decisions over the past few season appear to be heading in the right direction. A squad overhaul has seen Mikel Arteta gear his team towards his dream project, something that has resulted in an upwards trajectory up until this stage of his tenure at the Emirates Stadium.
The latest in a string of successful decisions surrounds that of the career of William Saliba, who has recently broken into the Gunners' first-team. The 21-year-old signed for the north London outfit in 2019 from Saint-Etienne for roughly £27million, but was made to wait before he made his debut.
The France international spent three seasons on loan, despite calls for him to stay and make appearances for the club. His most recent loan spell at Marseille saw him earn a call-up to the French national team as well as win the Ligue 1 Player of the Year award - previously won by the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Aurelien Tchouameni.
