Saliba, who spent the 2022\/23 season on loan at Marseille, returned to Arsenal a few years back and instantly solidified his place as a key figure in Mikel Arteta’s defense. He played every minute of Arsenal’s Premier League campaign, contributing significantly to the team’s impressive defensive record. His strong performances earned his a Golden Glove award for Arsenal’s goalkeeper David Raya, further highlighting his impact on the team’s success.<\/p>\n

Henry’s endorsement speaks volumes about Saliba’s rise to prominence. As one of the Premier League’s most respected figures, Henry’s acknowledgment of Saliba’s exceptional abilities is a testament to the young defender’s impressive development.<\/p>\n

Saliba’s performances throughout the season have earned him widespread acclaim, and his dominant displays have made him a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League. With Henry’s high praise and his impressive performances, Saliba appears destined for a bright future at Arsenal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
