Saliba joined Arsenal in 2019, however he was forced to spend the previous three seasons on loan.
Speaking on TalkSPORT he said:
I’ll apologise, I absolutely got that wrong. He is the real deal, what a signing. What a player he is and I know that he’s young but he could be sensational.
He’s still got things to work on, like his positioning, but he looks really, really good.
