Ben White, the Arsenal defender, has applauded teammate William Saliba, noting that he is absolutely incredible.
Saliba’s presence in Arsenal as a defence was made known to be a major factor and a remarkable consistent over the past two seasons.
He was signed in 2019 for the sum of £27 million contract fee by Unai Emery but could not establish himself in the Gunners XI and was sent on loan.
Following his debut made in 2022 under Mikel Arteta, he has gone from strength to strength and had been one of the league’s best defenders then.
Ben White, while speaking on Metro said: “Saliba is absolutely incredible. There’s nothing I could say that is a weakness or something that he probably needs to work on. I know that everyone needs to work on something but the way he’s playing he’s still so young.”
“It’s so weird. In training, you obviously see glimpses of how good he is, but in a game it’s a completely different level and it shows.
“He can just cruise training, nobody goes past him. It’s literally like nobody even tries because they just know there’s no point.”
