Arsenal defender Ben White recently lauded his teammate William Saliba for his exceptional abilities. At just 23, Saliba has emerged as a standout defender not only in England but worldwide. His combination of defensive acumen and skillful ball-handling has made him essential to the team, starting in all nine of Arsenal’s matches this season in both the Premier League and Champions League.
In an interview with Prime Video, as reported by Fabrizio Romano, White praised Saliba’s growth into a leadership role. The 27-year-old noted, “Saliba’s absolutely incredible; there’s nothing resembling a weakness. He’s so young and dominant in training that opponents don’t even try to get past him anymore.”
Both players are anticipated to play in Arsenal’s upcoming match against Bournemouth this Saturday, marking the team’s return from the international break. Arsenal is currently tied for second in the Premier League with Manchester City, just one point behind Liverpool.
