Leboeuf Challenges Saliba to Mirror Arsenal Brilliance for France
In a recent interview, World Cup winner Franck Leboeuf called on Arsenal centre-back William Saliba to shake off his international reserve. Leboeuf said Saliba shines for the Gunners but has been too quiet when wearing the French shirt. The former defender believes Saliba has all the tools to dominate for Les Bleus but needs a mindset shift to translate his Premier League confidence to the international stage. He urged the 25-year-old to express his true character under Didier Deschamps. With France preparing for the 2026 World Cup, Leboeuf warned that unlocking Saliba’s club-level composure could be the key to strengthening the national team’s defence.
