ARSENAL fans are hoping Real Madrid scouts watched William Saliba after his disastrous performance against Belgium.
The defender lined up for France but had a first half to forget in Brussels.
The Arsenal star was at fault for Belgium‘s goal and he also conceded a penalty.
Saliba tried to close down Lois Openda inside the area but slipped and brought down the Belgium striker, though Aston Villa star Youri Tielemans missed the penalty.
Fans noticed Saliba was even at fault in the build-up as he played Openda onside, and he did not cover himself in glory just before half-time either.
The centre-back was caught in possession as he tried to start a run from deep, before losing track of Openda who was able to head in unmarked.

A third wrote: “He let him onside and conceded the pen what a horror show.”
Real Madrid have reportedly sent scouts to watch Saliba following his impressive start to the campaign for Arsenal.

One Arsenal supporter said: “Saliba playing like s**t on the world stage which means Madrid won’t come in for him.”
Another added: “Saliba is such a real one for putting up this stinker to ward off Real Madrid’s scouts ❤️”
Saliba performed better after half-time and helped France secure a 2-1 win, despite them having Aurelien Tchouameni sent off 15 minutes from time.
