Arsenal legend Sol Campbell is impressed by Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba.

Campbell rates the Gunners pair as the best defensive pair in the Premier League.

"You'd have to say, yes [they are]," Campbell told The Sun. "You don't want to disrespect the others that have come after me and before this current partnership but Gabriel and Saliba have come just at the right time for Arsenal.

"Right now, it is beautiful. They have been given time to build a relationship. They're playing incredible football and they're not mucking about. You can see the will in their eyes, the fire in their bellies.

"It is not perfect, yet it is so strong. They have real confidence. Once you get it, never disrespect it.

"That old Roman saying of never resting on your laurels, that's when big mistakes can happen.

"You win titles and cups by having a strong backline pair, and Arsenal have that to look forward to over the next few years. Long may it last."
