Gary Lineker praises Arsenal and William Saliba
Brillant performance
In our view, William Saliba was superb for Arsenal against Bournemouth in the Premier League today.
The Frenchman was very strong and comfortable at the back, and the way he scored his goal was really astounding.
Saliba is only 21, so he is bound to make mistakes, but the Frenchman is doing extremely well at the moment.
The youngster has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water, and it appears as though he has been playing for Arsenal for years.
Arsenal have a real gem in Saliba, who has the potential to become world class in the future.
