Where does Saliba rank amongst the great Arsenal centre backs?
willo salibo
Am so proud of you saliba we love u here in Uganda pearl of africa
Saliba with his Barry White voice 😍
We love you saliba❤️❤️
Sorry Saliba but you should have broken ranks and quit Arteta's army while you could. You have been at the club for more than three years and will not achieve winning silverware with your current club. You should have put in a transfer request before the season began to go to Real Madrid.
Can’t wait to watch this back in 5 years when we’ve won the prem a few times, UCL and other trophies 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 he’d be a legend then!
I'm proud of willo❤❤
What a guy❤❤
The spine is so important to a team. He speaks well and it's clear he's not loving the interview, but it is clear he is loving life with the Arsenal!
Willo my centre back ❤

Arsenal media team, thx for putting the Gatorade bottle RIGHT ON HIS FACE, you only had one job to do, bang up job you did
Saliba 🔴⚪
Such a mature and responsible young man. Interesting how he admits he was angry he wasn’t playing immediately on coming here but he had the humility to just put in the work and improve and now he can play for any team in the world. Love this man👍🏻
