Arsenal boss Arteta: The players were singing Saliba song after victory at Bournemouth

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says the players have quickly adopted the new fans song for William Saliba.

Saliba put in a strong performance and scored Arsenal's third goal in victory at Bournemouth with a curling finish from the edge of the box, and has already won over the Gunners' fanbase despite playing just three first team games.

The travelling fans at the Vitality Stadium could be heard in full voice throughout the match, singing songs aimed at several of their players, but Saliba was the main target of the praise which will be welcomed as a breath of fresh air after several years of frustration at the club.

Arteta said after the game: "The boys were singing it [the song] in the dressing room. It is a good song."
