Arsenal’s handling of the William Saliba case has come as a surprise in recent years. While waiting to find out what his future will be made of, which we recently looked at, the main person concerned is in any case getting off to a good start with OM. The 21-year-old central defender is one of the best players in his position in France and is quietly continuing to progress, as evidenced by his first two caps with the France team a few days ago. Mikel Arteta, the Gunners coach, does not regret any of the decisions made for the Bondynois.
“I haven’t spoken to him since (his first steps with the Blues) but obviously we are really aware of what he is doing and his development. He’s our player and we’re really happy with the decision we made. He gets the minutes and the exposure, responsibility and growth at his age was not something we could guarantee here this season. And what’s going on with him makes a lot of sense and we’re happy to see how he’s improving.”explained the Spanish coach at a press conference this Friday, before Arsenal moved to the lawn of Crystal Palace on Monday (9 p.m.).
