Football mad from an early age

At the age of just three, he wanted to become a professional footballer, and when he grew older, it stayed his dream for his whole life. 

Though his family didn't like football as much as he did, they handed him a ball when he was small, and ever since, he has been playing football which was his only choice in sports. 

At six, he joined the club. He was coached by the father of Kylian Mbappe.

He has been an Arsenal fan throughout his life 

Not only has Saliba loved playing football since he was a kid, but he also loved watching football. 

According to Saliba, he watched all the Champions League games while he was growing up, and it was at that time he fell in love with Arsenal. 

He had an Arsenal shirt when he was about seven or eight years old. He grew up idolizing Thierry Henry. 

He was the one whom he looked up to the most, and he loved watching him. So, he had an Arsenal jersey with Thierry Henry [on the back].

Saliba is currently living his dream after signing a long-term contract with the club in July 2019. 

In an interview, he said he didn't think twice while signing for Arsenal though he had a choice between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur because of his love for Arsenal.

He wasn't always a defender
