Arsenal fans have continued to be left dazzled by summer signing William Saliba following his performance for Saint Etienne on the weekend.
The 18-year-old, who joined in a deal worth £27 million over the summer, played the entirety of his side’s 2-2 draw with Amiens, helping them to a sixth game without defeat.
Saliba was a standout performer on Sunday, which led to @BnsComps creating this video of his display.

As expected, the video quickly did the rounds on social media, which led to these Arsenal fans heaping praise on the teenager.

The initial signs have been extremely promising, but fans shouldn’t get too far ahead of themselves regarding the Frenchman.
Saliba has shown he has all the qualities to become a top defender, however, the Premier League is a different ball game compared to Ligue 1.
If he can continue his fine form for Saint Etienne, then he could stake his claim for a role at the Emirates next season, and Arsenal fans will be hoping the teenager can continue to quietly go about his business for the remainder of the season.
