“I don’t assume his consumer top features to be above median. He’s at a drastically, drastically high level but not substantial. So in days gone by soaking up the international level, he needs to acclimatise to those institutions.
“As points stand I don’t recognize how to friend him wearing Konate or wearing Upamecano so that he can succeed and hone with one voice the talent that he has in him.”
Desailly also freshly administered assume it’s too shortly to connote Saliba is already “the hardest in the universe”.

“I assume that Dayot Upamecano and Virgil Van Dijk are above Saliba, also but Van Dijk has slumped a little piece. We do, but, have to offer Saliba time. He lone fetched here two years earlier and, endorse after that, nobody knew his moniker.
“He was never claimed! Permit’s permit him to exercise and strategy his craft at the highest potential level. Saliba has implemented nicely and he has the possibility, but let’s postpone and see what else he can do. The possibility is there.”
