William Saliba – WHAT A GOAL! The Arsenal defender has announced himself to the Premier League with an absolute stunner.
Saliba, who was the Ligue 1 young player of the season last time around, returned to Arsenal in the hope of nailing down a first-team spot this campaign.
Having started Arsenal’s opening two Premier League fixtures, he was already being compared to Rio Ferdinand, with Arsenal supporters getting ahead of themselves, so we thought.
Those comparisons may well have been accurate, with Saliba not only being a rock at the back, but also dangerous and effective in attack.
The ball fell to Saliba just inside the Bournemouth penalty area, with the Frenchman curling a GORGEOUS left-footed effort beyond the goalkeeper and into the back of the net.
The Arsenal supporters had been chanting his name all game long and you imagine they’ll be doing it some more after this – WHAT A GOAL!
SALIBA THAT IS 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐍𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆🤯
