LONDON — William Saliba has warned Arsenal’s rivals that they are not “full” and believes their Premier League title triumph could serve as a catalyst to winning more silverware.
Saliba and his team-mates will get their hands on Arsenal’s first Premier League trophy since 2004 after the conclusion of their dead rubber against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday.
The Gunners will hope it is the first leg of a momentous double with their Champions League final against Paris St Germain in Budapest to follow next Saturday.
“It would mean a lot,” said Saliba, according to PA Media, when asked about the significant of winning next week’s showpiece.
“Now we have started with the Premier League, it is my first one, so I am happy. But I am not full. I want more. And there is a big chance next week in the Champions League, so we have to give everything.
“Last season we finished second in the league, but even when we finished second, we had the good mentality the season after to keep going and it finally paid off. We didn’t give up, we deserve the title, and we will come back again next season to try and win as well.”
Pressed as to whether he thinks Arsenal’s championship triumph could serve as a springboard to winning more trophies, he replied: “Yes, of course.
“When you win a trophy it is positive. It gives you confidence. We can see everyone is in a good mood, the staff, the players.
