Frank Lampard savages two Arsenal players as Chelsea legend gets ruthless
Frank Lampard has shut down claims that Arsenal's defensive partnership William Saliba and Gabriel are comparable to some of the Premier League greats.
The centre-backs have made impressive strides at the Emirates Stadium and form the key core of Mikel Arteta’s side that has been vital in the Gunners asserting themselves as title contenders over the past few years.
The duo have been rock-solid defensively but also been key in how Arsenal build out from the back, and their attacking threat from set-pieces cannot be understated. Saliba and Gabriel’s displays have seen them labelled as the best pairing in Europe on countless occasions, though some believe that the partnership could be considered two of the best to ever grace the pitch.

“If they go and win two or three Premier Leagues and a Champions League then maybe you can compare them.

It’s not fair to make that comparison because this is all ahead of them. But at this point, no. But what they’re doing at the minute is great things. But yeah, win some stuff, boys, and you can get in that conversation fully.”
Saliba and Gabriel will be hoping to enhance their claims as two of the best in the business at the end of the season by leading Arsenal to success both domestically and on the European stage.

Ricardo Carvalho and John Terry are regarded as two of the best defenders in Premier League history (Image: Getty) READ MORE Mikel Arteta lauds 'unbelievable' Arsenal star who is undroppable after PSG winEx-Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand has talked up the duo as the best in Europe whilst speaking on TNT Sports last month. He explained: “Definitely. I think they are. They proved that in the last couple of seasons now.
“They’re resolute. They’re hard. They can do it in different ways. You’ve got a great blend. Saliba is a little bit more calm and wants to cover and sweep a little bit. Gabriel’s on the front foot, more of a Martin Keown type. [He’s an] aggressive-type player. They complement each other so well.”
