Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino has hailed Arsenal's William Saliba as the top central defender in the Premier League.

 Cascarino highlighted Saliba's well-rounded skill set and lauded his performances throughout the season.

"Saliba is my top choice, and I must say he has emerged as the premier center-back in the country," remarked Cascarino.

"I'm impressed by his composure, athleticism, and knack for thwarting attacks. He's made some crucial last-ditch tackles that have prevented potential goals.

"It's remarkable how he can swoop in with a decisive tackle just when opponents seem poised to score."
