This season, William Saliba has participated in every minute of action for Arsenal in the Premier League. The Frenchman has developed into a dependable and crucial member of the group.
He highlighted this in the 3-0 win against Bournemouth. In the 16th minute, with almost all Arsenal players on the opponent’s end, Gabriel suddenly made a mistake.

Bukayo Saka put him through on goal and instead of firing wide, Saliba calmly cut inside his left foot, before aiming at goal.
