Saliba warns Arsenal teammates: Wolves before World Cup

Arsenal defender William Saliba has spoken about focusing on Wolves in the Premier League.

The defender has been named in France coach Didier Deschamps' World Cup squad for his nation.

Despite the excitement of going to his first major international tournament, Saliba believes that all thoughts must be on Wolves in the Premier League at the weekend.

“But I have to be focused on the last game with Arsenal. To push to win and then after this game I will be focused 100 per cent with the national team," he insisted.

He then added on his relationship with teammate and defensive partner Gabriel:

“He's a good partner, a very good player but every defender in this team we are so close.

“That's why we start well and we haven't conceded a lot of goals in the league. So it's good because we are all friends, we are all together."
