William Saliba could hit a century of Premier League appearances against Newcastle United on Sunday, and a piece of Arsenal history in the process.
The Frenchman made his debut for us against Crystal Palace on the opening day of the 2022/23 campaign, and has gone on to win 67 of his first 99 league games.
And should he mark his century with a three-point haul against the Magpies, he would join Sol Campbell and Lauren at the top of the list when it comes to most wins achieved during their first 100 league games for us across our 138-year history:
| Player | 100th app | Wins |
|---|---|---|
| Sol Campbell | 25/09/2004 | 68 |
| Lauren | 25/04/2004 | 68 |
| William Saliba | 67 | |
| Kolo Toure | 21/08/2005 | 66 |
| Ben White | 06/04/2024 | 66 |
| Gilberto Silva | 01/02/2006 | 65 |
| Thomas Partey | 22/09/2024 | 65 |
| Ashley Cole | 10/02/2004 | 64 |
| Nacho Monreal | 20/08/2016 | 64 |
| Marc Overmars | 09/05/2000 | 64 |
On that night at Selhurst Park three years ago, William kept a clean sheet, and it would be the first of many.
