Among the best defenders in the Premier League, William Saliba (23) had a top-flight season with Arsenal. Lively in his interceptions, quick in coverage and very clean in his restarts, the Frenchman impressed with his skills with the second in the English championship. Now regularly called up for the Blues, William Saliba has gained playing time during the last two gatherings and during this preparation for the Euro. Can he become a starter on this team? This is the hypothesis put forward RMC Sport. According to them, the staff plans to give him his chance as a starter during the competition, or even from the first match against Austria on Monday.

In competition with Dayot Upamecano and Ibrahima Konaté, the central hinge since the 2022 World Cup, the Gunner showed that Didier Deschamps could count on him during his last appearances. In the last three matches of the Blues, William Saliba (15 caps) played two as a starter (against Chile and Canada) and was rather efficient, dispelling the doubts which weighed on him during his first matches with the team of France. Will he shake up the hierarchy during the Euro? Response Tuesday against Austria.
