 By: Aremu lukmon

Arsenal fans have had to wait an eternity to see William Saliba pull on the red shirt, and he has not hesitated in making up for lost time.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Frenchman has been the best defender in the league so far, combining near-perfection on the ball with a reading of the game the defies his relatively-tender years.

Still only 21, the sky's the limit for Saliba, who is seeing his patience rewarded this season. And to think, there's was even talk of Arsenal parting ways with him in the not-so-distant past...
