"Freak of a talent", "Disgustingly good, it doesn’t even make sense" - Arsenal fans believe youngster is worth €100m after Man of the Match display against Chelsea

Arsenal were once again in awe of William Saliba following another magnificent display against Chelsea in their 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, November 6.

The Gunners returned to the top of the Premier League table with an extremely impressive and thoroughly deserved win over their London rivals. Bukayo Saka's sleek corner averted the entire Chelsea defense, before Gabriel Magalhaes converted at the backpost just after the hour-mark to give Arsenal a priceless victory.

Mikel Arteta's side remained calm and composed throughout the game and subdued Chelsea to precious few opportunities. The Gunners have now won 11 of their 13 Premier League encounters this season and were once again solid at the back.

Saliba has played nearly every minute for the north London side this term in the league, in what has been an extraordinarily impressive debut season.

Today, he made three clearances, three interceptions and two tackles and also blocked a shot. Following his Man of the Match display against Chelsea, Arsenal supporters took to Twitter to heap praise on Saliba:

The France international signed for the Gunners three years ago and has been on-loan at different Ligue 1 clubs ever since.

The centre-half was even named the French league's Young Player of the Year at Marseille last term and has kept his impressive form up. His calmness on the ball, as well as his strength and ability to read the game, makes him one of the most talked about defenders in the league.
