French superstar expresses his approval of Saliba after Austria win | OneFootball

Kylian Mbappe is the apple of France’s eye when it comes to football as the Paris Saint-Germain superstar is sure to go down as one of the country’s greatest ever.

The forward’s influence on the game has grown rapidly over the last few years and everything he does seems to be a significant story – such as the image rights debacle recently.

Getting Mbappe’s approval is one way of making your mark in a team the 23-year-old is involved in and that is certainly what Arsenal’s William Saliba has done.

The Arsenal defender has impressed many with his performances at the start of this season and has played a key role in the Gunners’ early success.

The 21-year-old came off the bench early for France in their latest match against Austria, following an injury to Jules Kounde, and his cameo impressed the French golden boy, Mbappe.
