Saliba eyes titles to cement status as world’s Best Defender. Arsenal’s William Saliba has established himself as one of the top defenders in the world, but he believes he needs to add titles to his resume to truly be considered the best. Despite his standout performances, the 22-year-old Frenchman feels there’s still more to achieve.
“I’m on the right track, but to be the best, I need to win titles. That’s what I’m missing right now,” Saliba said in a recent interview. “If you win titles, you are good; if you don’t, you can’t say you are the best.”
Saliba’s defensive prowess has been key to Arsenal’s solid form this season, including their recent 0-0 draw against Atalanta in the Champions League. His leadership at the back was crucial in securing the clean sheet against the Italian side.
Looking ahead, Arsenal face a tough test against Manchester City this Sunday at the Etihad Stadium. The Gunners will rely on Saliba’s rock-solid defense as they aim to prove their credentials against the defending Premier League champions.
Last season, Saliba played a crucial role for Arsenal, featuring in 31 league matches, scoring twice, and helping keep 18 clean sheets. As he continues his journey towards greatness, Arsenal fans are hopeful that his performances will soon be rewarded with the silverware he craves.
