And as agreed at the next Mercato summer, William Saliba will join Arsenal in Premier League, who had formalized the transfer of the young defender of Greens of St Etienne last summer for a check for about 30 million euros.
In an interview with Goal, Mikael Silvestre, the former defender of Arsenal and French team, was confident about the future of William Saliba at the Gunners :
“William Saliba will start from the start when he joins Arsenal. There he evolves with ASSE which is in difficulty in Ligue 1 but his performances are good and he is constant. Defensively, he is strong and he will seek to impress by pre- he will have to adapt during this period but he will have enough time to integrate. He is still very young but already has a good experience in L1. He will continue to learn alongside the central defenders of the Gunners, but he will have an important role to play as soon as he arrives at Arsenal! “
Very flattering words therefore towards William Saliba of the’ ASSE – AS Saint-Etienne !
