William Saliba set to make 100th Premier League appearance for Arsenal in clash vs Newcastle
William Saliba is on the verge of reaching a major milestone as he prepares to make his 100th Premier League appearance for Arsenal this Sunday, May 18, against Newcastle United. Since making his debut against Crystal Palace at the start of the 2022/23 season, the French defender has been a key figure in the Gunners’ defense, securing victory in 67 of his first 99 league matches.
If Saliba helps Arsenal secure a win over Newcastle, he will join club legends Sol Campbell and Lauren as the players with the most wins in their first 100 league appearances, a remarkable achievement in Arsenal’s 138-year history.
Additionally, Saliba is poised to join an elite group of Arsenal outfield players with 100 Premier League starts. All of his 99 league appearances so far have been as a starter, and he could become the first outfield player since fellow Frenchman William Gallas, who reached 101 starts, to reach this landmark.
