Strong man of the best defense in the Premier League, William Saliba became an Arsenal executive (29 goals conceded). The 23-year-old has reached a milestone this season, and has judged his progress in the columns of The Team. According to him, he is one of the three best defenders in the English championship.

“I think I’m in the top 3, yes. We finished with the best defense. I watch a lot of matches. I am a humble person but last year, like this year, I am in the top 3 of the best defenders”, he estimated. With Virgil Van Dijk and Ruben Dias, does the Frenchman now sit in the place of the big guys?
