Arsenal legend Ian Wright and defender Gabriel Magalhaes have reacted to William Saliba’s latest performance for France at Euro 2024.
The 23-year-old centre-back was once again in top form for Les Bleus in their 1-0 win against Belgium, with the French media showering Saliba with praise, as the defender again asserted his claim as to being one of the starting defenders for Didier Deschamps’ side.
With Arsenal fans also buzzing with how Saliba performed against Belgium, the French defender is enjoying something of a revolutionary Euros with his national team, given that the centre-back had been considered a backup heading into the competition.
And Wright and Gabriel have now sent messages to Saliba after yesterday’s performance.
Wright and Gabriel show love to Saliba after big France win
Taking to Instagram, Wright and Gabriel were very affectionate with Saliba after France’s win against Belgium, with the two sending their love to the Arsenal man after yesterday’s game in Dusseldorf.
Gabriel replied to Saliba’s official post: “Yes my brother!” whilst Wright sent the 23-year-old Arsenal star several heart emojis, a feeling that most Gooners were experiencing after the defender’s performance.

Indeed, the Euros this summer has put Saliba firmly on the footballing map, even with the Arsenal defender one of the best in the world and a true superstar in the Premier League for the Gunners.
And with the centre-back now flourishing on the international stage, there’s little stopping Saliba in becoming the next best defender in world football, with the Arsenal man having all the tools needed to achieve this.
Arsenal really hit the lottery in signing Saliba in 2019
When Saliba signed for the Gunners five years ago, few would have expected the French defender to develop into the player we now see before as at the 2024 Euros with Les Bleus.
After two seasons of being immaculate in the Premier League, Arsenal should still be in awe over how lucky they got in signing Saliba in 2019, with the decision to sign the-then 18-year-old from Saint-Etienne worth every single penny.
With Saliba now one of the best in the world and only getting better, Arsenal will hope that the defender can continue to develop in the years to come, where the 23-year-old could soon become unstoppable.
