Granit Xhaka’s message to William Saliba after new Arsenal contract
Big player for Arsenal
William Saliba is one of the best young defenders around and is a big player for Arsenal already.
The 22-year-old was superb for the Gunners last season and played a key role in the North London club almost winning the Premier League title.
Saliba formed a formidable partnership with Gabriel at the heart of the Arsenal defence last season.
We believe that the 22-year-old has the potential to become better and establish himself as a world-class defender in the coming years.
And Xhaka sending a message to his former Arsenal teammate shows that the Swiss star still cares about the Gunners despite leaving for Bayer this summer.
