William Saliba hopes to follow in the footsteps of Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira, becoming the next Arsenal star to taste World Cup glory with France.
The defender was named in Didier Deschamps' squad for Qatar shortly before Wednesday's Carabao Cup defeat against Brighton.
Saliba wasn't even born when Henry and Co helped France win the 1998 World Cup, when another former Gunner, Emmanuel Petit, scored in the final.
But he is aware of Arsenal's rich history with the Les Bleus at football's showpiece tournament and he hopes to write the next chapter in Qatar.
