Arsenal defender William Saliba has weighed in on being compared to veteran defender Sergio Ramos, insisting the Spanish center half as ‘probably the best in history.’
At 23, Saliba is already considered one of the best center backs in world football after a consistent run of performances for the Gunners in the last three seasons.
Fans have likened the Frenchman to World Cup winner Ramos and now, Saliba says though he understands the magnitude of the debate, Ramos remains an idol and ‘probably’ the best ever defender in the game.
He made this revelation to the media ahead of Arsenal’s UEFA Champions League last 16 second leg clash, saying: “Sergio Ramos comparisons?.. I like it, he’s been probably the best defender in history.”
The Gunners have been far from the English Premier League top spot yet again this season, but though Saliba says they may not be winning it this year, he remains committed to the club as they look ahead in Europe in search of glory this campaign.
