William Saliba gave a fantastic answer when asked what the most iconic moment of his Arsenal career so far has been.
There are few defenders better than Saliba in the Premier League right now, and if there is, it’s arguably his teammate Gabriel Magalhaes.
Gabriel and Saliba’s partnership has taken Arsenal to heights that were inconceivable when Mikel Arteta first arrived, with the Gunners now challenging on all fronts.
Having two of the best centre-backs in world football is a privilege for Arteta, but one thing is missing, and doesn’t Saliba know it.
Imagine this: You can sign one of Gabriel Magalhaes or William Saliba to a lifetime Arsenal contract… Who are you picking?
William Saliba is ready to win trophies at Arsenal
Upon signing a new deal at Arsenal, Saliba admitted he’s not yet 100% happy at the club due to the Gunners’ wait for silverware.
The defender speaks openly about his hunger to win titles, and rightly so, as he’s one of the world’s elite defenders.
Arsenal fans love Saliba’s honesty about wanting to win trophies in red and white, and will particularly admire what the Frenchman just said.
In a video posted on Arsenal’s official X account, the 24-year-old was asked what his ‘most iconic moment’ at Arsenal has been, and his response was perfect.
“It’s not now,” Saliba said.
“It would be at the end of the season where we would get some [trophies].”
Saliba wants to win the Champions League at Arsenal more than anything else, which he might have the chance to do this season.
The defender is eyeing an iconic end to the season for the Gunners, something he’s been manifesting for some time now.
Gabriel Magalhaes and Saliba are desperate to win titles together at Arsenal
It’s not only that Saliba wants to win a title that is celebratory, but the fact that he wants to exclusively win one with Arsenal.
From Arsenal’s best defenders: Start two, bench two…
His partner in crime is the same, as Gabriel convinced Saliba to stay at Arsenal amid Real Madrid’s interest in order to create a legacy in N5 together.
Being motivated as individuals is one thing, but being motivated as a pair is another, as it benefits Arsenal significantly, being two of Arteta’s most important players.
The future is so bright for Saliba and Gabriel, who could finally end their wait for major silverware at the Emirates this year.
