Arsenal legend Ian Wright has claimed that William Saliba is so good he could play for Real Madrid.
Wright was reacting to Saliba’s performance in the 1-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday.
The Frenchman and his defensive partner, Gabriel Magalhaes, kept out Erling Haaland and his teammates at the Emirates.
The result ensured that the Gunners went joint-top of the Premier League table with Tottenham.
“You have to look at him and think to yourself, Saliba could play for Real Madrid right now, no danger. He could play for any of them, could play for anyone he wants.
“So, for us to sign him up because he’s at that age where you think, where are you going now? In the Premier League, I don’t care what anyone says, it is the best league in the world and he’s here, he’s here for another four years, he’s only going to enhance himself and get better,” Wright said.
