William Saliba has named legendary former Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos as the best defender of all time.
The Frenchman heaped praise on the combative centre-half, who enjoyed unprecedented success at the Bernabeu during his 16-year stay in the Spanish capital.
Saliba's comments come on the eve of Arsenal's Champions League last-16 second leg against PSV - but more pertinently, amid recent reports linking him with a move to the 15-time European Cup winners.
The 23-year-old, who will have two years remaining on his contract at Arsenal at the end of the season, recalled speaking to the 38-year-old during the Gunners' clash against Seville last term.
