Arsenal defender William Saliba has made a shocking revelation leading up to this summer’s Euros in Germany about the Premier League’s best Centre-back. Saliba has been a superb player for Arsenal in recent years including the just-concluded campaign where the Gunners finished behind champions Manchester City for the second season running.

Should Gabriel/Saliba have been nominated for Player of the Season? The 2023/2024 season ended with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City just tipping the Gunners of North London to the title on the final day.
