William Saliba’s first match in the Premier League showed why extending his contract should become a priority in this summer transfer window. It is also a notion that Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher agrees with.
Saliba was pivotal in helping Arsenal to maintain their first clean sheet of the season at a tricky ground in Selhurst Park, a place where the Gunners had lost 3-0 in the previous campaign. His performance was so good that Jamie Carragher awarded the Frenchman with the man of the match award.
The 21-year-old showed composure which was reminiscent of a veteran defender. It is pivotal that the Gunners renew his contract to scare away any potential bidders.
