Arsenal fans have been longing for a centre-back partnership that can match the iconic duo of Sol Campbell and Kolo Toure from the club's Invincibles era. However, according to former Arsenal player Sol Campbell, the wait may finally be over.

The Search for the Perfect Pair

Since the days of Campbell and Toure, Arsenal has struggled to find a defensive partnership that could replicate their success. The likes of William Gallas and Thomas Vermaelen, Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker, and Shkodran Mustafi and Sokratis Papastathopoulos have all fallen short.

Enter Saliba and Gabriel

But now, Campbell believes that Arsenal's current duo of William Saliba and Gabriel could be the real deal. Speaking to SunSport, Campbell praised the young defenders, saying they have the potential to be Arsenal's best pairing since his Invincibles days.

A Beautiful Partnership

Campbell highlighted the strong bond between Saliba and Gabriel, emphasizing their will and confidence on the pitch. He also emphasized the importance of a solid defensive pairing in winning titles and cups.

Building a Telepathic Bond

Campbell stressed the significance of forming a telepathic bond between central defenders. He compared his partnership with Toure to the connection between Saliba and Gabriel, highlighting the need for a common understanding and mental connection on the field.

A Promising Future

Saliba and Gabriel have shown great potential in their partnership, and Campbell believes they have a bright future ahead of them at Arsenal. He expressed his hope that they can continue to grow and contribute to the team's success over the next few years.

The Key to Sustaining Title Charges

In Campbell's eyes, the key to sustaining title charges lies in the bond between central defenders. He believes that Saliba and Gabriel have the potential to take Arsenal to the next level, but warns that they need to be in control of their game and the situations in front of them.

The Only Sticky Part

While Campbell is confident in Arsenal's defensive capabilities, he does have one concern. The uncertainty surrounding the goalkeeping situation, with David Raya and Aaron Ramsdale, could potentially affect the mindset of the defenders in crucial moments.

Overall, Campbell believes that Saliba and Gabriel have what it takes to be Arsenal's best defensive duo in years. With their strong partnership and the right mindset, they could help lead Arsenal to success in the Premier League.
