Arsenal defender Saliba: Title collapse was tough to watch

Arsenal defender William Saliba admits it was tough watching their title collapse last season.

Saliba missed the second-half of last term due to injury.

He said, "It was so hard to watch my team play in these difficult moments and not be there to help them.

“We were so close but you cannot control the injuries and now I am back and even stronger than before.

“It's behind me now and I am focusing on the future. I've started this season well, we're top of the Premier League and first in our Champions League group, but we still have a lot of games to come.

“Maybe we can go one better than last season but it's too early to say that.

“But we are all competitors and we want to win everything."
