Fans dump Arsenal’s new captain Odegaard for William Saliba

William Saliba impressed as Mikel Arteta’s side surged to the top of the Premier League table following a routine victory over Bournemouth.

The 21-year-old even managed to mark the occasion with his first ever Gunners goal; a sweet first-time strike from the edge of the box that sealed the points for the Londoners, who had taken a 2-0 lead into the break courtesy of a brace from Martin Odegaard.

But even though Arsenal’s new captain Odegaard stole the show in the first half, it was the French defender who was receiving all the love from the visiting fans.

The Gunners faithful managed to adapt The Champs’ hit ‘Tequila’ to fit in Saliba’s name – and the catchy tune ended up providing the backdrop for the one-sided clash.

A delighted Saliba was seen smiling at the end of the match after being serenaded again by the travelling fans – and Arteta revealed after the match that the tune had gone down a storm with the rest of the Arsenal squad, too.

The Spaniard told Sky Sports: “The boys were already singing it in the dressing room [after the game today]. It is a good song.”

Arsenal fans have had to wait three years for a glimpse of the highly-rated defender, who has been farmed out on loan to France three times since joining the Londoners.
