The strange shorts used by William Saliba against Tottenham A detail that has not escaped the most attentive eyes

With only one defeat in their last eight games, Arsenal are without a shadow of a doubt the Premier League's revelation team, even above Pep Guardiola's Manchester City. And in the derby staged this Saturday, in which Arteta's boys won against Conte's team by three goals to one, there was one detail that did not go unnoticed by the most attentive eyes. During the match in fact, the young and more than promising Gunners defender William Saliba took to the pitch wearing a very strange pair of shorts with only two stripes as opposed to the classic three that have distinguished adidas since 1949. 

It is not known what the causes are, most likely a production error that will surely anger the German brand, just in the week in which the record renewal until 2030 arrived. A more than curious case since all his teammates were wearing shorts with the classic three stripes and one that recalled the Holland jerseys worn by Johan Cruyff, modified so as not to betray his partnership with PUMA.
