Saliba Backs Arsenal Depth for Multi-Trophy Success
Arsenal center-back William Saliba believes the current North London setup possesses the necessary depth and leadership to challenge for all four major honors this season. Currently leading the Premier League and their Champions League group, Mikel Arteta‘s side remains active in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, fueling internal belief that a historic haul is attainable.
“Yeah, of course, we want to win every competition. We have the squad for that, we have the coach for that. So, yeah, we have to keep going and obviously be focused on every competition,” Saliba stated.
The French international emphasized that Arsenal‘s strength lies in its rotational capabilities. He argues that the gap between the starting eleven and the bench has narrowed significantly, allowing the Gunners to maintain high standards regardless of lineup changes. This personnel flexibility is vital as the fixture list becomes increasingly congested across domestic and continental fronts.

“We have a lot of good players. Every player who doesn’t start can start as well. They are the level to start the games as well. So, yeah, everyone is ready, everyone is ready to step up when we need it.”
Defensive Resilience Returns at Elland Road
Reflecting on the recent Premier League victory against Leeds United at Elland Road, Saliba highlighted the importance of defensive stability. After a lapse in concentration during their previous home fixture where they dropped points and conceded three goals, the clean sheet in Yorkshire signaled a return to their structural foundations.
“It was so important to win, because last week we weren’t happy with the performance that we did at home. We conceded three goals, we lost that point. That’s a thing that we don’t like. We wanted to show that it was just like a mistake that can happen, and now we’re back to basics with a good clean sheet against a good team.”
The Gunners‘ ability to secure maximum points at a hostile venue like Elland Road serves as a marker for their maturity. Saliba noted the collective satisfaction within the dressing room regarding both the offensive efficiency and the defensive discipline required to suppress Leeds‘ high-intensity approach.
