William Saliba's Arsenal career is finally underway and early signs indicate he has been well worth the wait.
A £27m signing from French side Saint-Etienne in the summer of 2019, the defender was sent out on loan three times by the Gunners - twice under Mikel Arteta - to aid his development and decided to stay and fight for his place ahead of the new season amid talk of joining Marseille permanently.
And with each passing game, it's looking like the aforementioned decisions have been a stroke of genius from all parties involved as Saliba has been very impressive in each of his first three senior appearances for Arsenal against Crystal Palace, Leicester City and more recently Bournemouth.
