Arsenal star William Saliba has revealed who he rates as the ‘best defender in history’. The 23-year-old has been widely tipped to establish himself as one of the best in the world in the coming years.

William Saliba says he wants to stay and win trophies at Arsenal, as leaving before then would see the fans “forget” about him. The France centre-back has been a mainstay of the defence for the past three years but his four-year deal expires in the summer of 2027.

William Saliba acknowledged that he must continue to improve in order to help Arsenal regularly challenge for trophies in the near future.
