‘I wouldn’t’: Pundit says he’d take Arsenal’s £27m defender over Virgil van Dijk now
For the longest time, Virgil van Dijk has beenꦺ considered the very best centre-back in the Premier League, but that may now be changing.
Indeed, Arsenal’s William Saliba is now on the rise, and he is a serious𒆙 challenger 🎃to Van Dijk’s crown.
Speaking on the , Adrian Clarke was presented with a hypothetical situation where he had the chance to switch Saliba for Van Dijk in this Arsenal team as a part of a discussion ab🌊out David Raya and Aaron Ramsdale’s situations, and the pundit says that he actually wouldn’t swap Saliba for anybody right now, not even Van Dijk.
Saliba over Van Dijk
Clarke responded when asked if he’d take the man over the Liverpool🍰 star.
“Here’s a question for both of you then, if Virgil van Dijk becam🗹♓e available would you put him in the team ahead of William Saliba?” The host asked.
“♈No, I wouldn’t change W💯illiam Saliba for anybody,” Clarke said.
“William Saliba is a phenomenon, but I’m saying about 𝔉someone who is just slightly bette𒁏r and more experienced, do you understand the point I’m saying about team dynamics?” The host responded.
Hot property
There genuinely may not be a defender in world football who is a hꦉotter property than Sal🎐iba at the moment.
At the age of 22, the Frenchman is already bordering on 🥀being world🍸-class, and he’s only going to get better.
He has a decade of dominance ahead of him, anꦜd it has to be said that he looks like♛ the best defender of his generation.
Van Dijk may be slightly ahead of him at the moment, but due to his age and potential, we have to agree that we’d rather have Saliba in our team than th𒁏e Liverpool captain right now.
