Thomas Vermaelen has praised William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, describing their partnership as great and important for the club.
Our skipper said: "He [Saliba] is a great player. He has everything a modern defender needs to have – he’s quick, he’s a great defender, he’s good on the ball.
"He has a great partnership with Gabriel as well which is very important. They’re doing an amazing job."
Arsenal have won just one of their last seven games across all competitions, with back-to-back losses against West Ham and Fulham seeing them slip to fourth in the table.
They are five points off leaders Liverpool and last Sunday were knocked out of the FA Cup by the Reds following a 2-0 defeat at the Emirates.
However, the Gunners flaunt a record of just 20 league goals conceded this season, only bettered only by Liverpool.
