EPL: Only Yoro can get close to him – Rio Ferdinand on best centre-back
Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand, has backed Arsenal’s William Saliba to become the best centre-back in the world.
Ferdinand also admitted that only Manchester United’s Leny Yoro can get close to Saliba.
Saliba was impressive as Arsenal defeated Manchester United in the Premier League on Wednesday.
The Frenchman scored the Gunners’ second goal as Mikel Arteta’s side won United 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium.
“I think he [Saliba] is going to be the best defender in the world,” Ferdinand said on Rio Ferdinand Presents.
“Saliba will be the best defender in the world when Virgil van Dijk gives up that post.
“The only person I see, the person who I think will rival him and it will be close is Leny Yoro.”
