The Gunners are chasing records as Mikel Arteta has assembled a squad quite capable of creating internal records and breaking the Premier League ones. His Arsenal have been more than capable of winning the Premier League trophy, albeit they face possibly the greatest manager in football history complemented by a probable financial doping which makes it all the more difficult for them to rub shoulders moving along the season marathon.
However, the ambitions are sky high are North London Forever rings around the lanes of Islington heading through the doors of the infamous Emirates Stadium. The anthem is as loud as ever and the hunger is more than before as Martin Odegaard prepares to lead his squad out as we head into a brand new Premier League season, one where the Norwegian would hope to conclude it with a trophy above his head.
This hunger drives among the supporters as well as the players, and one of those is star defender William Saliba. The French man has been the wall at the heart of the Gunners defence and he would be looking to claim a record of his own when Arsenal take on Wolves this Saturday.
Can William Saliba make history against Wolves?
Saliba has been a relevation since his move to Arsenal and following the couple of loan spells away from London Colney, he has establised himself as a quality presence at the back, possibly one of the best in the world.
The French international has made 65 appearances repping the Cannon on his chest and he has won 49 games in that time – which aggregates to a more than impressive win rate of 75 percent. While this is a magnificent stat on paper, it also means that he is only one Premier League win away from registering a half-century (50) of victories in the English top tier.
And if Saliba is able to do so in the next four games, he will be achieving the half-century number in fewer games than any other player in the Gunners history and will beat the current record held by Nacho Monreal. The Spaniard reached 50 wins in 70 games back in 2015.
