My Take
William Saliba had my attention the moment I saw he came from Bondy, the same Paris suburb that produced Mbappe. Born in 2001 and standing at 192 cm, he anchors Arsenal's defence with a calm that belies his age. Plenty of centre-backs are big or quick, but Saliba pairs both with a composure that almost never cracks, and for a defender that serenity is the rarest currency of all. He is already called one of the best in the world, yet what I admire is not the hype but the unhurried way he reads danger. With France ahead of him, I genuinely expect his ceiling to keep rising.
