Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha is backing Sergio Ramos for a Premier League move.

The defender is a free agent after leaving Real Madrid this week having spent 16 years with the La Liga side.

Saha told gamblingdeals.com: "If you see the impact of Thiago Silva at Chelsea, the impact of Sergio Ramos would be the same, or maybe even bigger.

"The guy is known for that type of leadership, has the ability to step up and score a lot of goals, he's one of the best ever goalscoring defenders.

"He's a big player on the big stage. If you want to win trophies, he's as strong a signing as Thiago Silva, and there are few players who can galvanise a club like this.

"I think he'll be an amazing signing."
