Speaking ahead of Arsenal’s league clash with Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, Saliba said: “We know that in every competition we play, we can win it. But we have to show that on the pitch and we have to start winning trophies now.
“The mood is good but we know that we are still in December and things can happen quickly in football, so we have to stay focused and keep believing in ourselves and keep working, because what matters is at the end when we are holding the trophies - and not before.”
Saliba’s daring challenge to his team-mates is an extension of his comments back in October, when he outlined his determination to win a major trophy after signing a new long-term contract with Arsenal.
“We want everything,” he said before his side’s 2-0 Champions League win over Olympiacos on 1 October. “We play every competition to win.
“I feel at home here, we have a good team, we have a good staff, good coach, we are always close to winning something, so I wanted to stay and win titles with this club.”
