William Saliba has been sensational for Arsenal so far in the Premier League campaign. His defensive excellence was met by his attacking capabilities as he scored his first goals for the Gunners with a wonder strike against Bournemouth and a precise header against Brentford.
The Frenchman has bought a sense of calmness and assertiveness to Mikel Arteta’s defence which was evidently lacking last season. More interestingly, he has also added speed to the backline, which is also crucial to playing a high line.
Despite the high amount of plaudits Saliba has received in the early weeks of the season, former Arsenal captain William Gallas has picked out a ‘problem’ surrounding the Frenchman that the Gunners must address.
