WILLIAM SALIBA INTERVIEW: ARSENAL STAR CONFIRMS AMBITION TO SWEEP ALL FOUR COMPETITIONS IN 2026
William Saliba is dreaming big. With Arsenal top of the Premier League, find out why he believes they can win four trophies in 2026.
William Saliba says Arsenal's busy January shows they're getting better and they're going for multiple trophies this season.
Arsenal's still in four competitions as the year turns over. They've got a League Cup semi-final against Chelsea, the FA Cup is about to start, and they're leading both the Premier League and Champions League tables.
Saliba thinks this packed schedule proves Arsenal's heading in the right direction.
Yeah, if we've got loads of matches, it means we're doing well, so we need to keep it up. Hopefully, the injured guys will be back in January to help us. We're doing fine; we're still in every competition, so we just need to keep pushing.
This attitude seems key to what Arsenal wants to achieve. They have nine games in January, so they'll be trying to test their strength, but Saliba thinks recent seasons have prepared them for it.
When asked if they could win more than one competition, the French defender was clear about Arsenal's goals.
Yes, for sure, because we think we can win every competition we're in. We've been close in the Premier League for the last three seasons, and last season we got to the Champions League and Carabao Cup semi-finals, so we know we can win anything. We just have to prove it on the pitch and start winning some trophies now.
This drive comes from what they've learned. Arsenal's been close to beating Manchester City and Liverpool in title races and gotten back into the later stages of European competition, but they haven't won any big silverware.
Saliba says just improving isn't enough anymore.
Of course, we want to win every competition. We know we're in the semi-finals now, so there are three games left for us, and we have to do the job against Chelsea. It's going to be a big game, a big derby, so we need to keep going. We know we are close and have to not repeat last season.
The Carabao Cup might be the first chance to make that belief real, and Saliba is clear about how important it is.
At the end, it's still a trophy, and when you retire, you count your trophies. The Carabao Cup counts—and we're in the semi-final, so we want to win it, just like every competition we enter.
The team's still feeling good, but Saliba says they're staying focused and realistic. Arsenal's at the top of the Premier League, almost through to the Champions League knockouts, and about to play Chelsea for a spot at Wembley.
The mood is good, but we know it's still December, and things can change fast in football, so we have to stay focused, believe in ourselves, and keep working hard because what matters is at the end, when we're holding the trophies, not before.
Mikel Arteta's squad is saying the same thing—belief is growing along with expectations.
For Saliba, the goal now is simple: Arsenal needs to back up their ambitions with actions.
MIKEL ARTETA HAILS "BELIEF AND ENERGY" AS ARSENAL HUNT FIRST TITLE SINCE 2004
Mikel Arteta's Arsenal dismantled Aston Villa 4-1 to enter 2026 with a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.
Arsenal's boss, Mikel Arteta, thinks his team is finally seeing their effort pay off as they finish 2025 leading the Premier League.
After Tuesday's big 4-1 victory against Aston Villa, who are also chasing the title, Arsenal is now five points ahead of Manchester City. City plays Sunderland on New Year's Day.
Arsenal hasn't won the Premier League since 2004. When asked if this might finally be the year they break their twenty-year title drought, Arteta praised his team's belief and energy.
We're playing like every other day. The schedule is really packed, and we've got some tough games and injuries. But the guys are still winning, and that helps, he said.
All the hard work and dedication you put in shows in the results and how well we're playing. That feels great, but we know there's still a lot left to play.
He added, "It's a fantastic way to wrap up the year, for sure." We'll have a nice New Year's Eve with family, but then we're back at it the next day. We've got to go to Bournemouth on Saturday, and we know what that's all about.
After winning their last three league games against Wolverhampton, Everton, and Brighton by just one goal, Arsenal scored four for the first time since beating Tottenham in the north London derby at the Emirates Stadium back in November.
“We needed this game,” said Martin Zubimendi. He, along with Gabriel, Leandro Trossard, and Gabriel Jesus, scored against Villa in a game Arsenal controlled in the second half.
We were at home, and we wanted to end the year at the top, especially against Aston Villa, who are a really strong team tactically. So, we're happy with how we played.
We had some trouble with their counterattacks in the first half. At halftime, we tweaked a few things, and in the second half, once we got the first two goals, the game opened up, and we got four.
We could feel the crowd's support; they were always pushing us, always wanting more.
STOP STARTING VIKTOR GYOKERES: JAMIE CARRAGHER DEMANDS ARTETA BENCH £55M STAR FOR GABRIEL JESUS OR KAI HAVERTZ NOW
Jamie Carragher claims Viktor Gyokeres isn't good enough to lead Arsenal, insisting Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz are better.
Jamie Carragher, the former Liverpool defender, thinks Arsenal should start either Gabriel Jesus or Kai Havertz at striker over Viktor Gyokeres. He says they're both better players.
Gyokeres joined the Gunners for £55 million this summer, and a lot of people thought he could complete the team. But the Swedish striker hasn't settled in, only scoring five goals in 17 Prem appearances.
The 27-year-old has been the main focus of Arsenal's attack, which hasn't been great lately. He wasn't very good, even though they beat Aston Villa 4-1.
Adding to that, Jesus replaced Gyokeres and scored a really great goal late in the game, making it 4-0.
Carragher, a Sky Sports expert, said after the game that he's a big fan of Jesus and that either he or Havertz should be starting instead of Gyokeres.
The only bad thing tonight for Arsenal is that Gyokeres shouldn't be starting when they have players like this, Carragher explained.
In a couple of games, when Jesus is in better shape, he should start. He's better than Gyokeres; that's just how it is.
Jesus and Havertz have just returned from being injured for a while. Jesus scored his first goal in over a year against Villa after recovering from ACL surgery.
Even though Gyokeres was signed to lead Arsenal's attack after doing well at Sporting, he hasn't played that well in England. Carragher said that Jesus and Havertz are better choices to lead the line right now.
People have asked if [Jesus] is good enough for Arsenal to win the league, the former England player added. But now, he's better than the guy they brought in, who they thought would win it for them.
Either he or Havertz is better than Gyokeres as a striker. He's not as skilled or good as the guys they have on the bench. I think Arsenal needs to get someone better than Gyokeres, and they already have that player in Jesus.
