This has been a good season for some Arsenal loanees and one of them is William Saliba.
The Frenchman is yet to play for the Gunners, but he has been in stunning form for his Ligue 1 club, Olympique Marseille.
He is spending this season there on loan and it is expected that he will be a part of Mikel Arteta’s plans for next season.
His fine form for the French club has now been rewarded after Football Observatory named him in their Ligue 1 Team of the season so far.
The team was comprised of top players like Dimitri Payet and Kylian Mbappe. They paired Saliba in a three-man defence alongside Nayef Aguerd and Presnel Kimpembe.
Just Arsenal Opinion
This has been a fine season for Saliba and this recognition is deserved for the 20-year-old.
His experience facing the likes of Kylian Mbappe should help him become a top player at Arsenal next season.
The Gunners have a good defensive partnership in Ben White and Gabriel Magalhaes, but Saliba would be a solid option to have on the bench.
If he does well enough in training, he could displace one of the established duos in the team.
