- Saliba has started every PL game this season
- He has scored two goals already
- 21-year-old starred against Spurs in derby
WHAT HAPPENED? Saliba has enjoyed a superb start to the campaign with the Gunners and was exceptional once again on Saturday as they beat Tottenham 3-1 in the north London derby to stay top of the Premier League.
WHAT THEY SAID: Speaking to reporters after that success, Ramsdale was quick to praise the 21-year-old for how he has adapted to English football.
"He has fit in really well," said the goalkeeper. "It is a credit to him that he has been put straight into the team. He is a bit of a Rolls-Royce with the way he moves and he has never seemed phased."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Ramsdale added on the unity within Arsenal's backline: "He is a young boy so still makes mistakes, so at the minute it is either Ben (White), myself, Gabriel or Thomas Partey digging him out and he is digging other people out as well.
"That is the main thing at the minute, our mistakes aren't leading to too many things and that is the sign of a team with good characters in and around that back five."
