Former Chelsea central defender John Terry has stated that William Saliba might not reclaim his position in Arsenal’s starting lineup after his move from Aston Villa. During an interview on FC Bullard's TikTok channel, Terry praised Ezri Konsa, stating that he has become a crucial addition to the Gunners' defense alongside Gabriel.
Terry reminisced about their time together at Aston Villa, where Konsa proved to be both quick and aggressive on the field. He expressed his belief that even when Saliba returns to full fitness, he will not regain his starting spot, as he is convinced that Konsa's talent far exceeds his. Terry highlighted Konsa's aggressive play style and his ability to recover if the ball goes behind, making him an exceptionally good player.
Arsenal paid £51 million for Konsa this summer, with Aston Villa set to receive an additional £4 million in performance-related add-ons.
