William Saliba gives Arsenal Premier League title verdict as Man City gap out to seven points

Arsenal defender William Saliba has revealed his aim for the end of the 2022/23 campaign and Gunners fans will love it. Mikel Arteta has led his players to the top of the Premier League table heading into the new year as they prepare to face Newcastle next.

Saliba returned to the Emirates Stadium last summer after spending his first three seasons as an Arsenal player out on loan. The French defender spent last term on-loan at Marseille, winning the Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year award, before carrying on his brilliant form into his first full season with the Gunners.

The 21-year-old's form this season saw him earn a place in Didier Deschamps France World Cup squad as Les Bleus finished as runners-up to Argentina, unable to retain their crown as world champions. Saliba has become one of the best defenders in the English top-flight, with Ben White adapting to his new role at right-back brilliantly to accommodate the Frenchman in Arsenal's defence.
