Saliba to solve striker crisis?
William Saliba has offered to play as an emergency striker to solve Arsenal’s crippling injury crisis.
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta admitted he felt sick to his stomach when Kai Havertz tore his hamstring on the club’s Dubai warm-weather camp.
Now centre-half Saliba, who played up front for first club AS Bondy in France, is ready to answer any SOS.
Arteta revealed: “Willy always says ‘I’ll play as striker’. Straight away it was one of his reactions.
"Willy is so funny but it is true he played there. He used to score a lot.
"But a lot of players played there when they were younger.
“Is that an option to put them up front? You never know what’s going to happen. We are going to have to be creative.”
