He said of Saliba: “I don’t know if he needed it but I think what happened when he went away, it humbled him. He came to Arsenal and you expect to play.
“He was talked about being that good but they went no, get some experience. He was Young Player of the Season in Ligue 1, last season, was phenomenal in that sense, comes back and said ‘nah, I’m not going to right-back, Ben White get to right-back, I’m playing centre-half’.
“He’s a centre-half (White). Saliba comes back and it takes a personality, a character to go ‘right I’m here’ and plays. Listen, he had a good game. It’s the first game of the season, Palace is a hard place to go but you have the right to reserve judgement.”
