3 standout Arsenal players at Euro 2024
• Constant attacking threat
• "Seductive" defensive displays
By Jak Netting
1. William Saliba
Given that Saliba had so often been a bit-part player for France, few could have expected just how important a role he would play at Euro 2024.
The Arsenal star started every game for Les Bleus in the competition until their elimination in the semi-finals, against the eventual winners Spain.
After France's opening game at the tournament, a 1-0 win over Austria, French sources claimed that the 23-year-old had "seduced" national team coaches with his performance—which certainly sounds like a glowing report.
Saliba was a rock at the back and looked calm and composed whenever he was on the ball, even if he was coming under pressure - a sight that will be familiar among Arsenal fans.
As well as wowing fans, these performances were also enough to secure his place in UEFA's official team of the tournament - ample recognition for his excellent contributions
