Mikel Arteta walks out during Aston Villa defeat, Zubimendi transfer boost, Toney and Palhinha updates: Arsenal news LIVE

In the history of Arsenal, there have been few center-back partnerships that have reached the heights of the legendary pairing of Sol Campbell and Kolo Toure during the Invincibles era. Since then, the club has struggled to find a defensive duo that could replicate their success. However, according to former Arsenal defender Sol Campbell, the Gunners may have finally found their best defensive pairing in William Saliba and Gabriel. In an exclusive interview with SunSport, Campbell expressed his belief that these two players could be the key to Arsenal’s success in the coming years. Despite their potential, there is a nagging concern that could cost them the title.
Saliba and Gabriel are being hailed as the best defensive duo for Arsenal since the days of the Invincibles, but former player Sol Campbell has some concerns about their potential to lead the team to a title.
The partnership of Campbell and Kolo Toure in the 2004 Invincibles team has been unmatched by subsequent Arsenal pairings, with attempts to replicate their success falling short. However, Campbell believes that the current pairing of Saliba and Gabriel could finally live up to the standards set by the legendary defenders.
Campbell, who won two Premier League titles with Arsenal, expressed his belief that Saliba and Gabriel have the potential to lead the team to success. He emphasized the importance of a strong defensive partnership in winning titles and cups, but also cautioned against complacency and the risk of making mistakes.
While Campbell sees promise in the Saliba-Gabriel partnership, he also acknowledges the need for continued improvement and vigilance in order to avoid potential pitfalls that could cost Arsenal the title.
