da premier bet： William Saliba enjoyed an excellent display as Saint-Etienne beat Bordeaux 1-0 in Ligue 1 at the weekend.
The Arsenal loanee, who completed a £27m move to The Emirates in the summer prior to being loaned back to the Ligue 1 club.
He has made just two starts in the French top-flight, due to a hamstring injury, with his second coming on Sunday.
Across the entire 90 minutes, Saliba touched the ball a total of 50 times and turned in a genuinely commanding display.
Per WhoScored, the 18-year-old won three aerial duels in total and won 100% of his attempted tackles.
In addition to that, Saliba made two clearances and three interceptions as Saint-Etienne kept an important clean sheet.
Amazingly, of the seven games he missed through injury, Etienne won just one; since he has returned, they are unbeaten.
Similarly, against Lyon, Saliba enjoyed another excellent display.
Across the 90 minutes, he had 49 touches of the ball and won two aerial duels and two tackles, while he also made three clearances and one interception.
Arsenal, per reports, beat Tottenham Hotspur to Saliba’s signature and it appears that they have got themselves a bargain.
Across his two full games in the French top-flight, he has enjoyed two exceptional displays and more are sure to come.
Arsenal fans will be counting the minutes until he returns to north London.
