Jermaine Jenas has lauded Arsenal star William Saliba after his stunning start to the season, but has warned defensive partner Gabriel that he needs to step up his game after being "exposed" by the young Frenchman.
Saliba has made a huge impact after being integrated into the Arsenal first-team squad by Mikel Arteta this season following a fruitful loan spell with Marseille. The 21-year-old has kept his spot in the team after impressing in Arsenal's season opener and was once again a standout performer in Saturday's impressive 3-1 win over Tottenham.
The former Saint-Etienne man has won plenty of plaudits for the role he has played in the Gunners' start to the campaign. But rather than just focusing on Saliba's excellence, Jenas claimed he has actually shown up his defensive partner in recent weeks.
