William Saliba has revealed the desire to play at least once for the club he supported as a boy drove him on throughout his three loan spells away from Emirates Stadium.

The Frenchman has been a mainstay in our side this season, playing all but 14 minutes of our Premier League campaign so far which sees us top the table as February draws to a close.

Now a fixture in our side, it’s easy to forget he only made his debut on the opening day against Crystal Palace back in August, having spent his first three years as an Arsenal player on loan at St Etienne, Nice and Marseille back in his homeland.
