Saliba is 6'4". That's quite tall to be a mobile defender.
Gabby is shorter than that. Besides, Gabby has already proven himself to be mobile and agile.

So has Saliba. Go watch videos of his covering speed and the way he deals with direct players. Slow/flat footed players cant do what he can do. Its on YouTube if you can be bothered to do your own homework.

Mobile and fast are different things.
Saliba is quick. I was quite surprised how quick he looks, but he’s also shown that he lacks mobility in terms of change of direction. Would like to see him improve upon that.

But does he have agility?

Maybe one the traits that has put off the current management.
He isn't slow, and he's barely any taller than Gabriel.

That's valid
Mobile would be the ability to change pace quickly or direction
Fast is just sprinting, in a straight line pace
Wilshere I would say was slow, but mobile. Iniesta likewise.
Antonio Rudiger was one of the fastest players earleir this season, but wouldn't say he's mobile per se.
