Former Arsenal Star Insists Chelsea Have The Best Defender In The World

Chelsea have proven to have one of the best squads in the world. The Blues have made some outstanding transfers over the past decade. Some of the players brought by Abramovich are still performing at the highest level possible, and have become true role-models for youngsters who want to make it in this sport. According to Sky Sports, one of the players who should be treated like an example of dedication and efficiency is Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic. The 30 year old was praised recently by former Gunner, Robert Pires who pointed out that his former adversary is one of the best if not the best defenders in the Premier League.

Pires went as far as to say that Ivanovic is the best player in Chelsea’s lot despite having to compete for that title with footballers like Hazard, Costa, Fabregas or Courtois who are having a phenomenal season. Arsenal’s former midfielder seems surprised though that no one noticed how important and how efficient the 30 year old Serbian is. Pires told the press that Ivanovic is the perfect defender. He has it all and has reached the peak of his career.

Pires also spoke about Fabregas and about who got himself noticed even from way back when he was just 17. The former French international pointed out the fact that the Spaniard was always going to become a huge player with massive influence in any team he performs.
