The presence of Son Heung-min strikes fear into the hearts of even the best Premier League (PL) defenders.

On May 5 (Korean time), Sky Sports interviewed Arsenal's core defender William Saliba. The interview was unique. Artificial intelligence (AI) was used to create childhood photos of famous PL players, and Saliba was asked to identify them.

**Initially, Saliba's teammates from Arsenal were featured.

The first player to appear as a player from another club was Son Heung-min. After seeing an AI-generated photo of Son as a child, Saliba immediately said, "That's Son Heung-min from Tottenham," and made the correct guess.**

The reporter then asked Saliba how it felt to defend him, and she replied, "He's a really good player. He's fast, he's technical. When he gets a one-on-one with the goalkeeper, he's flawless," he said. "We have to tell him to stop scoring goals," he laughed when discussing his struggles as an Arsenal defender. 온라인카지노

Saliba also chimed in when the reporter mentioned Son's ability with both feet and his versatility as a winger and striker. "He can do everything," he said, "as a winger and as a striker. I hope he doesn't score a lot of goals this season," he said.

Saliba grew up in France, where he was touted as the next Raphael Varane. Arsenal recognized his talent early on and signed him for the 2019-20 season. Already making a name for himself at the senior level, Arsenal sent him out on loan to several clubs to continue his development.

Saliba has been a key player for the Gunners since last season after spending his best years at Marseille. He was born in 2001 and has been a regular in the French national team since last year. Physically fit and quick-footed, Saliba is one of the next generation of world-class center backs with a calm defensive presence.

In Saliba's first season at Arsenal, in 2022-23, Tottenham were not playing well and Arsenal were very strong. In the North London derby, Arsenal won both times. Son Heung-min, who is also strong in the North London derby, didn't do much last season.

However, in their last meeting, he absolutely tormented Arsenal. Every time Arsenal went ahead, Son would score a goal to pull them back. Saliba also started and tried to contain him, but failed miserably. As someone who has played against Son, Saliba was speaking from the heart.
