Rob Holding has revealed that William Saliba hardly trains his upper body. He, however, claimed that the Frenchman is built like a unit and nobody can take the ball off him.
“You’ve got someone like Saliba who’s a unit, but you never see him in the gym benching, you never see him. I’ve seen him do pull-ups and it’s not the best technique and there’s not many of them!” Holding said.
“But then you try and get the ball off him, no chance! You try to run past him, he’ll just go: ‘Nah, you stay there, I’m going to get the ball’. And he’s rapid as well, he’s fast.”
Saliba and Gabriel have formed an outstanding defensive partnership at the back for Arsenal, and they are arguably the perfect pairing in terms of skillset.
Gabriel likes to play on the front foot as an aggressive defender who is powerful in the air. When alongside Saliba, the Frenchman compliments this with his calmness and composure way beyond his years.
