William Saliba was sensational in his Premier League game for Arsenal against Crystal Palace in the opening match of the Premier League. His performance also earned him the man of the match award.
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.
After his excellent displays recently, Saliba continues to dominate the Arsenal statistics and plaudits. He is also beginning to show that he has the best qualities compared to other defenders in England’s top division.
