EPL: He’s better than me – William Saliba names best defender in the world

Arsenal centre-back, William Saliba, has named the defender that is better than him.

According to him, Manchester City’s Ruben Dias is now the best defender in the world.

He said the Portuguese has surpassed Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk.

Asked to rank the best defenders in the world, Saliba told Sky Sports YouTube Channel, “Right now, honestly, it’s Ruben Dias.

“Normally for me it is Van Dijk he is the best. Over the last four years he was the best in the world, but for me last season it was Ruben Dias, Van Dijk second and then Thiago Silva third.

“I hope maybe I will be top three next season, but I think maybe they are better than me right now.

“It’s not good to say they are better, but they are right now better than me but I hope one day I will be better than everyone here.”
