Arsenal defender William Saliba believes he is currently one of the best defenders in the world.
The France international defender has received heaps of praise since he became a first-team regular at Arsenal.

Despite his impressive displays, the Frenchman preferred to stay humble when comparing himself to the best defenders in European football.
When asked in an interview with Téléfoot (via Get French Football News) if he believes he is the best defender in world Saliba said, “I think I am one of the best, but not yet the best defender in the world. I can still become much better one day, I hope to improve.”
Saliba and his Arsenal teammates would hope to overcome Paris Saint-Germain over two legs in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.
Thr Gunners would host PSG who have already been crowned French Ligue 1 champions.
