‘Sky’s the limit’ for Canada, Villarreal midfielder Nathan Saliba

Canada midfielder Nathan Saliba is drawing high praise from international and club teammates following his rapid rise and strong start at Villarreal. Teammate Mathieu Choinière stated the "sky's the limit" for Saliba, who impressed alongside him in midfield during Canada's recent 1-0 victory over Chile in Toronto. Saliba joined the LaLiga side from Anderlecht after starting his senior career with CF Montreal.

Canada teammate Tajon Buchanan highlighted Saliba's smooth transition to Spain, noting his quality has already made an impact. Canada head coach Jesse Marsch has tasked the young midfielder with becoming a more vocal leader in the CanMNT midfield ahead of their upcoming match against Peru at Stade Saputo.
