Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard has heaped praise on his teammate William Saliba, describing him as one of the best defenders in the world.
Arsenal’s success this season has been built on the back of their defensive solidity, and one player who has been instrumental in this is William Saliba.
The French defender has been in outstanding form, and his performances have earned him praise from his teammates and coaches alike. Leandro Trossard, Arsenal’s talented winger, believes that Saliba is one of the best defenders in the world.
“He’s a great human being,” Trossard said of Saliba. “He’s a funny guy, and yeah, on the pitch, I think he’s one of the best in the world at the moment.”
Trossard also praised Saliba’s technical abilities, saying, “He’s so calm on the ball and then off the ball, it’s so hard to get past him. He’s strong, he’s quick, he has basically everything.” Saliba’s versatility and range of skills make him a formidable defender, and his performances have been a major factor in Arsenal’s title challenge.
The Gunners are currently just two points behind league leaders Liverpool and have a chance to go top of the table this weekend. They face West Ham at home, while Liverpool travel to Chelsea. Arsenal’s defensive solidity will be put to the test against the Hammers, and Saliba will be crucial in helping his team keep a clean sheet.
Saliba recently signed a new deal with Arsenal, and he cited his desire to win silverware with the club as a key factor in his decision. The French defender is clearly committed to helping Arsenal achieve success, and his performances suggest that he is up to the task.
Trossard believes that Saliba has the potential to be the best defender in the world, saying, “He just needs to focus on every single game, and I think then he can be the best in the world in his position.”
