1. William Saliba
William Saliba is arguably one of the best defenders in the world on his day. Despite a brief dip in form, including a notable mistake against Liverpool, he has been instrumental in Arsenal’s title challenge with his recent excellent performances.
Seeing as it’s William Saliba’s birthday, any excuse to post THAT goal against Bournemouth (a) in 2022/23, featuring Oleksandr Zinchenko’s shock reaction. 😂❤️ #afc pic.twitter.com/ILcR6MBGzq
