Arsenal defender William Saliba admits he was a "sulk" as a junior player.

Saliba began his career with Bondy - as a striker - which was where Kylian Mbappe also began playing.

“I wanted to score in every game, but I wouldn't say I was a selfish player," he told the Arsenal website.

“Some strikers are selfish, but I also looked for my teammates too.

“I have to be honest though, and say I was a lazy player. Yes I was lazy, and also I would sulk quite a lot. My manager would always tell me off for sulking, for being lazy in training.

“This is maybe why I wasn't captain! As I said, I was young in my head, but then I grew up. My coaches helped me a lot at that age. I realised how you had to be on the pitch and I changed."

He added: “We have very good atmosphere here. Every day we have a laugh, we have a joke, we like being round each other, but when we are on the pitch we go hard and we are serious. It's important to have both – you cannot do one without the other."
