Saliba was NOT READY! Arteta IN DEPTH on defender’s amazing rise at Arsenal

Mikel Arteta reflects on his early conversations with William Saliba and the decision to send the France defender out on loan, as he was not ready for the Arsenal first team during the first few months of his reign. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Intro 00:24 - Saliba: we rarely recruit that position at that age for that price. At the time it wasn’t ideal. We let him leave on loan to get exposure. 01:25 - Atmosphere: we’re starting to create a story 02:32 - Everyone wanting to be here: It’s exactly what we needed as a club. A sense of belonging. 03:26 - Saliba wanting more: That was the conversation we’ve had with everyone who wants to remain here. 03:50 - Growing belief: It creates belief and momentum. It was done in a special manner. 04:17 - Madueke: He needs to wait. Still in a protective stage. 04:51 - I had a talk with the players. Some will play until the end and some won’t play. The attitude of every player has been really good. 05:51 - Early conversations with Saliba: You’re telling a player that the best thing is a loan. It means right now isn’t the right place for you. He did it with incredible maturity.
