Kylian Mbappé has praised one of Arsenal’s stars as France prepares to contend for the Euro 2024 crown this summer.
The French captain emphasized that Arsenal defender William Saliba is “among the best central defenders in the Premier League.”
Saliba has solidified his status as one of Europe’s top defenders and had an exceptional season with the Gunners.
He started all 38 matches under Mikel Arteta, with Arsenal narrowly missing out on the Premier League title to Manchester City.
Mbappé considers Saliba from Arsenal as one of the best.
Despite Saliba’s club-level excellence, the 24-year-old has struggled to replicate that on the international stage, with French coach Didier Deschamps preferring other defenders over the Arsenal man.
However, Mbappé insists that Saliba possesses all the qualities to start for the two-time world champions. “This season, he has become a very important player for Arsenal and is one of the best central defenders in the Premier League.”
“He is starting to get minutes with us,” said Kyky from Bondy to Ouest-France. “It’s up to him now to find his place. For me, he has all the qualities to eventually be a starter with Les Bleus,” added the French captain.
Recall that the famous footballer Kylian Mbappé recently left PSG to finally join Real Madrid.
