AS Saint-Etienne : ASSE: Is Saliba ready to play Arsenal? Ménès strongly doubts | ASSE News

The consultant of Canal +, Pierre Ménès, is not a big fan of William Saliba. The AS Saint-Etienne defender will have to raise his level of play next season to win at Arsenal.

As Arsenal desperately seek to strengthen their defense next season, the young William Saliba will land for his first season across the Channel. Recruited for € 30m by the Gunners last season, the 18-year-old Frenchman has a real good shot to play. But for that, Pierre Ménès warns, it will quickly progress.

“He is an interesting player, who has scope. Maybe he still lacks a little experience. We saw it with the penalty he caused in the semi-finals of the Coupe de France. He may lack a bit of speed but he is very young. He can obviously progress a lot. In any case, he has a good placement, a good reading of the game and, of course, a physique that helps him a lot “, said the consultant.
