Whether or not Saliba is better than Gabriel is up for debate, but the reality is that neither player would be this good if it weren’t for their partner.
Indeed, Gabriel and Saliba complement each other so well, highlighting each other’s strengths while masking any weaknesses.
Let’s not forget, Gabriel wasn’t this good for Arsenal before Saliba got into the team, while Saliba didn’t impress in the same way he is now when he was on loan at Nice.
Both men are incredible defenders, and their partnership could well lead Arsenal to a Premier League title this season.
Arsenal are very lucky to have such a strong and sturdy defensive partnership, and while Saliba may be more highly rated, Gabriel deserves plenty of credit as well.
