William Saliba believes he is one of the best defenders in the world, although the Arsenal star admits there is one thing he is lacking before he can truly be considered amongst the elite.

William Saliba says Arsenal can afford to lose to Manchester City in the Premier League title race. The Gunners head to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday for among their toughest tests of the entire season and a game which is expected to prove pivotal to decide who is crowned champions.

William Saliba believes he is currently one of the top players on the planet but is ‘missing’ one thing from becoming the undisputed ‘best defender in the world’.

Just like last season, Arsenal travelled to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with a point to prove, but for a different reason, as the Gunners dropped points last time out. A controversial draw against Brighton at the Emirates left Arteta’s side heading into the international break carrying frustration.

According to Jorginho, William Saliba is the player who watches the most films while travelling as the Italian claimed that he’s a very quiet person off the pitch. Theo Walcott was conducting the interview, and he was very surprised to hear this about Saliba. Jorginho and Walcott discussed the defender and his personality.

Arsenal’s reported willingness to let William Saliba depart for Real Madrid indicates a bold strategy by Mikel Arteta. The club’s intention is to secure Aurelien Tchouameni, a player they believe can significantly enhance their midfield.

William Saliba bizarrely insists that Arsenal could lose to Manchester City on Sunday and still emerge as Premier League champions.
