The 21-year-old made it to France’s 25-man squad who are expected to travel to Qatar next week.
He made his debut for the French national team this year and already has seven caps to his name.
Saliba wants to be the next Arsenal player to bring home a winners’ medal this time.
Saliba replied: “Yes, of course, I want to be the next Frenchmen to do that, like Petit or Vieira. We will see.
“You know in France we have a lot of good defenders so that is why I am so happy. If I am in the squad it’s because I had a good start to the season with Arsenal. I am so happy and grateful to be in this squad.”
“Some people told me just one hour before, but I waited for the coach (Didier Deschamps). So when the coach told the media I was so happy. It was just before the game. I was so happy,” he added.
“It is amazing. I don’t think I can imagine what is the World Cup now, but I will imagine it later.”
