Frank Leboeuf believes William Saliba 'deserves' more of a chance for France, as he's the 'best defender in the world right now' but Didier Deschamps clearly doesn't see it like that.
Frank Leboeuf believes William Saliba “deserves” more of a chance for France, as he’s the “best defender in the world right now” but Didier Deschamps clearly doesn’t see it like that.
But while he’s a vital figure for Arsenal, he’s not yet earned that same status with France. The 23-year-old has only ever started six games for his country, and he watched on from the bench as France were beaten 2-0 by Germany last time out. Indeed, the pundit feels France boss Deschamps needs to identify his best defence, and clearly believes Saliba is in that.
It’s suggested Saliba will have a chance for France in their friendly against Chile, though, and that could help him to rise up in Deschamps estimations.
