William Saliba has etched his name into Arsenal's history books after their 2-0 victory over Wolves on Saturday (August 17).

Saliba started for the Gunners in the opening weekend at the Premier League, as the Gunners recorded an easy victory with goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka.

As Arsenal started the new season with a victory, William Saliba has reached a significant milestone as he reached his 50th win as an Arsenal player in the league.

Saliba's achievement is particularly notable as he reached this milestone in just 66 games, faster than any other Arsenal player in the Premier League era. His record includes only eight defeats and an impressive 30 clean sheets. This puts him ahead of former Arsenal stars like Nacho Monreal (70 games), Kolo Toure (72 games), Edu and Sol Campbell (73 games).

Saliba's rapid ascent highlights his significant impact since joining the team. The young defender continues to be a crucial part of Arsenal's defensive lineup. The Frenchman was bought in the 2019-20 season but only made his first competitive appearance in 2022-23 season.

Saliba's journey at Arsenal has been nothing short of impressive. His quick adaptation to the league and consistent performances have made him a fan favourite. The Frenchman has established himself as a top defender at the club and will be looking to take the Gunners towards a Premier League win this season.

Saliba, who paired with Gabriel Magalhaes at the centre of defense for Arsenal, secured a clean sheet at the back against a decent Wolves side. Arsenal will be up against Aston Villa up next in the league, a team who beat them twice last season.

Fastest Player to 50 PL Wins

Despite Saliba's remarkable record, it isn't enough to top the Premier League charts. There are 13 players who have reached 50 wins quicker, including his current teammates Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus, thanks to their time at Manchester City.

The top ten players who reached 50 Premier League wins the fastest include some notable names. Phil Foden and Aymeric Laporte share the top spot with 59 games each. Didier Drogba follows closely with 60 games, while Arjen Robben and Gabriel Jesus complete the top five with 61 and 62 games respectively.
