William Saliba has been Arsenal’s best defender in the early months of this Premier League season. His dominance in the backline has been impressive, which immediately made him one of the first names on the teamsheet.
The Frenchman’s composure when defending and especially in possession of the ball makes it seem as though he is a veteran despite only being 21 years old. He has been a crucial presence in Mikel Arteta’s defence.
And it is due to his dominant trend that he also showed last season which has seen him rewarded with a call-up to the France national team ahead of the World Cup. It is set to be the Frenchman’s first senior major international tournament.
