HE DESERVES THE BEST — JOHN TERRY NAMES THE ARSENAL STAR BETTER THAN SAKA RIGHT NOW

In a press conference moment that’s sparked serious debate among fans, Chelsea legend John Terry has made a bold claim about one Arsenal player he believes deserves far more recognition than he’s getting — and surprisingly, it’s not Bukayo Saka, Thomas Partey, or Declan Rice.

Terry, known for his no-nonsense opinions and respect for hard-working players, took a moment during a media appearance to credit one particular Gunners star for what he called “doing all the silent work” for Mikel Arteta’s side this season.

“I’m not an Arsenal fan, but one thing with me is I don’t like favouritism. I give credit to who truly deserves it,” Terry began. “And right now, for me, William Saliba is better than Saka.”

The former Chelsea captain explained that while Saka often takes the headlines with goals and assists, it’s Saliba’s consistency, calmness, and command at the back that’s kept Arsenal in the title race.

“He’s been the one holding that defence together, reading the game, cleaning up danger before it even becomes a problem. He’s the reason Arsenal have one of the best defensive records in the league. He deserves to be Arsenal’s Player of the Year, no doubt about it,” Terry added.

Social media erupted following Terry’s remarks, with many Arsenal supporters admitting that Saliba’s contributions are often overshadowed by attacking flair players.

“Football isn’t always about scoring goals or flashy skills. It’s about control, balance, and reliability — and Saliba brings all of that every single week,” Terry concluded.

With both the Premier League title race and end-of-season awards heating up, it will be interesting to see whether Saliba finally gets the recognition John Terry believes he deserves.

One thing’s clear: he’s got the respect of one of the Premier League’s greatest-ever defenders.
