William Saliba has had an incredibly impressive pre-season for Arsenal ahead of the 2022/2023 Premier League campaign. The Frenchman’s solid performances have put him in strong contention to start in the season opener against Crystal Palace on August 5.
The 21-year-old has started in Arsenal’s last two matches ahead of the Premier League season, highlighting that he has impressed Mikel Arteta and looks set for the game time in the new campaign. Despite still being young for a defender, his composure when defending and in possession of the ball is reminiscent of a veteran player.
Saliba’s excellent displays have been epitomised by the fact that the Gunners have not conceded in pre-season while he has been on the pitch. With the youngster in defence, Arsenal looks much more solid.
