William Saliba Reveals What Arsenal Must Do to Win the Premier League

William Saliba believes Arsenal’s hopes of winning the Premier League depend on keeping key players like Martin Odegaard fit and maintaining their current momentum. The French defender shared his thoughts on what the team needs to do to stay in the title race after their recent performances.

Martin Odegaard’s return from injury has been a game-changer for Arsenal. The Norwegian playmaker missed two months due to an ankle injury, and during his absence, the Gunners struggled, winning just five out of 10 matches across the Premier League and Champions League.

However, since his comeback earlier this month, Arsenal’s form has significantly improved. They have won two of their last three games, scoring nine goals in the process. Odegaard has been crucial, registering an assist in each of those games. His creativity and leadership have helped Arsenal stay in the hunt for the Premier League title, despite being nine points behind Liverpool.

Saliba emphasized how essential Odegaard is to the team’s success.

“It’s different when he’s on the pitch because he’s one of the best players in the world,” Saliba said after Arsenal’s 5-1 victory over Sporting CP. “We’re so happy to have him back. We play better with him. I hope he stays fit because we need him. You can see how much better we are with him.”

Saliba praised Odegaard’s professionalism and determination, noting how hard he worked during his recovery.

“He’s a top professional. Coming back after being out for so long and performing at this level is not easy,” Saliba added. “For me, he’s one of the top three midfielders in the world.”

For Saliba, keeping Odegaard fit and maintaining consistency are key to Arsenal’s title ambitions.

“If we want to win the league, we need to stay consistent and keep our key players fit,” Saliba explained. “Odegaard makes a big difference for us, and we need everyone to stay focused and push together.”

Saliba also highlighted the importance of believing in the team’s abilities and sticking to their game plan.

“The coach always tells us to believe in ourselves because we’re a really good team,” Saliba said. “We’ve had some tough moments, but we know the good times are coming. We just need to stay together and keep working hard.”

Arsenal’s next test is a big match against West Ham. Saliba believes this game is an opportunity to build on their recent momentum and keep climbing the league table.

“We can feel the progress,” he said. “This is the perfect chance to keep going and show what we can do. We just need to stay focused and give everything on the pitch.”

With Odegaard back in form and Saliba confident in the team’s abilities, Arsenal’s title hopes are still alive. If they can maintain their momentum and keep key players like Odegaard fit, Saliba believes they have what it takes to challenge for the Premier League crown.
