Arsenal’s defensive rock, William Saliba, has welcomed comparisons to legendary Spanish center-back Sergio Ramos, calling it an honor to be likened to one of the greatest to ever play the game.
“I like it,” Saliba said when asked about the parallels. “He is probably the best defender in history.”
The Frenchman’s commanding performances at the heart of Arsenal’s defense have drawn praise, with fans and pundits likening his style to Ramos’ mix of aggression, technical brilliance, and leadership. At just 23, Saliba is already establishing himself as one of the Premier League’s most dominant defenders—just like Ramos did in La Liga.
While Ramos built a legacy of trophies and clutch performances, Saliba’s journey is still unfolding. But with his talent and mentality, the Arsenal star could be on a similar path to defensive greatness.
