William Saliba was wrongfully criticised for his involvement in France's 2-1 defeat to Denmark ahead of decision on Arsenal future.

Perhaps he could have slid in to try and take the ball from the Dane, but at this moment, it would have been a very big risk. In hindsight, the risk would have been worth it considering what followed. Despite the fact that the then 19-year-old was deemed, rightly in my view, not ready for the Arsenal team does not impact a view of this incident. The reaction to the moment was frankly short-sighted and poor analysis. This was despite the fact the 20-year-old defender had done everything right throughout the play. He got on the goal side of his man and attempted to usher him away from goal.
