William Saliba
Arsenal, without William Saliba at the back, have looked relatively ordinary. The towering Frenchman adds so much to the Gunners’ approach, both defensively and going forward.
A composed passer of the ball, Saliba is far superior to his centre-back contemporaries at Arsenal, who often look lost without his talismanic presence.
It’s almost unfathomable that Saliba is just 22 years of age. The young defender has a fruitful future in football – whether it be at Arsenal or elsewhere.
