Initially not necessarily trusted by Didier Deschamps, William Saliba has, over the last couple of years, emerged as one of the first names on the teamsheet for a star-studded France side as one of the very best defenders in the world. This season, he remained a colossus at the back for Arsenal as The Gunners ended their 22-year wait for a Premier League title and, alongside Dayot Upamecano, forms part of what appears to be an imperious French defence in North America this summer.
