WILLIAM SALIBA INSISTS HE IS HAPPY AT ARSENAL AND DETERMINED TO DO 'BIG THINGS' AT THE EMIRATES AMID INTEREST FROM REAL MADRID

William Saliba insisted he is happy at Arsenal amid reports linking him to Real Madrid and aims to become the world’s best defender by winning major trophies.

The Frenchman has been a mainstay of Mikel Arteta’s side since being recalled from consecutive Ligue 1 loan spells at Nice and Marseille in 2022.

It has resulted in the Gunners boasting one of the best defences in the Premier League — and put the 23-year-old on the radar of clubs such as Real Madrid.

Saliba will have two years left on his contract come this summer but is happy in north London.

Ahead of Arsenal’s Champions League last-16 second leg against PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday, with a 7-1 advantage from the first leg, he said: ‘I’m really happy here because we have some years (to go on contract).

‘There is no rush at the minute. I want to win big things with Arsenal. If you leave this club without winning anything the fans will forget about you. I want to win big things here.’

He was also honest about his own performances — even going as far to say team-mate Gabriel has been better than him of late. But he still eyes trophies at a club whose last scalp dates back to their FA Cup triumph in 2020.

‘For me, this season I have not been so good. I have to review my season, I have to work on my game,’ he said.

The 23-year-old admitted that his central defensive partner Gabriel has been in better form than him this season

‘I have to watch especially my partner, Gabriel, who has been so, so good this season.

‘There are a few (defenders better than me), but of course I have to focus on myself and work more.

I want to be one day the best defender in the world. I know I have to work a lot and to win trophies as well – but that’s my dream.’

ARSENAL SMASH SIX PAST WOEFUL WEST HAM TO SEND TITLE MESSAGE

 Arsenal exacted sweet revenge on West Ham United with a 6-0 away thrashing to stay right in the thick of the Premier League title race on Sunday, obliterating their hosts before halftime.

Mikel Arteta's side had lost twice against their London rivals this season but were 4-0 ahead by halftime with goals by William Saliba, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel and Leandro Trossard.

The punishment continued in the second half with Saka making it 5-0 before former West Ham midfielder Declan Rice, who assisted two goals in the opening period, thumped his team's sixth on a day of abject humiliation for the hosts.

It was a sublime display by Arsenal who wiped off a goal difference deficit to champions Manchester City who they joined on 52 points, although they stay in third place courtesy of scoring fewer goals. Leaders Liverpool have 54 points.

ARSENAL FIND SCORING FORM IN 5-0 WIN OVER CRYSTAL PALACE

 Arsenal returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion with a 5-0 drubbing of toothless London rivals Crystal Palace to climb into third in the Premier League on Saturday.

Gabriel's headed goal from a corner and a Dean Henderson own goal -- courtesy of another Gabriel header from a corner -- put Mikel Arteta's side in control in the first-half. Leandro Trossard furthered their lead just short of the hour mark with a clinical finish from a sweeping move.

Substitute Gabriel Martinelli added gloss to the scoreline with two almost identical finishes in added time.

Palace, who are 14th, had a few chances of their own and almost equalised when Jefferson Lerma's swerving shot was well-saved by David Raya shortly before Arsenal made it 2-0.

Such was Arsenal's comfort that Arteta was able to make four substitutions late on with Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, Trossard and Gabriel all being given a breather.

Arsenal's victory ended a run of three successive defeats in all competitions and put them level on 43 points with Aston Villa and champions Manchester City. Arsenal's goal difference is superior to Villa's but worse than City's.
