Kevin Campbell has likened Arsenal centre-back William Saliba to Virgil van Dijk and is confident the French defender will prove a point in the Premier League this season.
Saliba has spent the last three campaigns out on loan in Ligue 1, featuring for Saint Etienne, Nice and Marseille, but is now back at his parent club and eager to impress Mikel Arteta. The 21-year-old helped Marseille to a second-placed finish in the French top-flight in 2021/22 while also claiming the Young Player of the Year award for the division.
The France international now faces the challenge of becoming a first-team regular for the Gunners, who will be hopeful of securing Champions League football this term. Saliba has certainly caught the eye during the club's pre-season tour and Campbell is convinced he will take the next step in his career in the months ahead.
