EPL: He comes with big tackle – Ex-Chelsea striker, Tony Cascarino names best centre-back

Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino has named Arsenal’s William Saliba as the best central defender in the Premier League.

Cascarino, speaking on talkSPORT, emphasized Saliba’s comprehensive skill set and praised his performance this season.

“My first one is Saliba, who I have to say has now become the number one centre-half in the country,” Cascarino said.

I think the composure plus the athleticism, and his ability of stopping and denying. He has made some great last-ditch challenges.

“You know, when you think people are in and suddenly he comes in with a big tackle.”
