Despite their topsy-turvy start this season, Arsenal boast – arguably – the best defensive partnership in the entire Premier League in William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes. And it appears their admiration for each other is not only restricted to match-days or training sessions at London Colney.
Currently away on international duty, those who aren’t injured anyway, some of Arsenal’s most famous faces are getting down to business, for their respective nations. Saliba, playing the full 90 minutes, was in action for France on Sunday night as they claimed an impressive victory away to Italy.
France, with Saliba in their ranks, topped League A Group 2 in the Nations League with four victories, plus a draw and one defeat from their six matches. Their final round win over Italy saw them leapfrog their opponents – and on they go to the knockout stages.
Saliba was inundated with ‘likes’ and comments on his Instagram post, including one from a rather familiar face as Gabriel popped up with a reply. He simply put two red love heart emojis in the comments section.
