Saliba’s time at Arsenal has been fairly short at this point, with loan spells taking up much of his career as a Gunner.

However, when wearing an Arsenal shirt, it is clear Saliba is one of the best defenders in the Premier League.

Arsenal’s form fell off a cliff when Saliba was injured last term but he has looked solid so far this season.

Saliba was not always a quality centre-back, though, and he has been discussing the bad trait he had to remove from his game:

“I wanted to score in every game, but I wouldn’t say I was a selfish player,” he told the Arsenal website.

“Some strikers are selfish, but I also looked for my teammates too.

“This is maybe why I wasn’t captain! As I said, I was young in my head, but then I grew up. My coaches helped me a lot at that age. I realised how you had to be on the pitch and I changed.”
