Arsenal defender Saliba targets World Cup place: Nothing guaranteed

Arsenal defender William Saliba has hopes of making France's World Cup squad.

But Saliba insists he's not taking anything for granted.

He said, "It's a dream to be selected, and once you've been selected once, you only have one wish, and that is to be present at every national team meeting because it's amazing to represent your country.

“It depends on a lot of things (going to the World Cup). Playing well at Arsenal improves my chances, but that doesn't guarantee anything. You always have to do more and, of course, there are a lot of French central defenders.

"In any case, I will give everything to be there!"
