William Saliba’s recent admission highlights the change in mentality over the last year. It also shows that the Frenchman will fit perfectly into Mikel Arteta’s culture.
When the youngster initially went out on loan to Marseille at the start of the season, he seemed almost downbeat and defeated, and had pushed the blame to Arteta for the reason that he was not able to break into the Arsenal first-team. However, as the season has progressed Saliba has started to take responsibility for his performances, and showing why he is ready to break into the Arsenal first team.
He has performed excellent while away on loan this season. And Arteta will be even more impressed with the maturity he has shown to grow throughout the year that was highlighted in his most recent comments.
