Gary Neville has identified an Arsenal defender as the best right back in the entire Premier League.
The Manchester United legend who won eight Premier League titles during his playing career believes Arsenal have superior full back options compared to their title rivals.
The former England international specifically praised Arsenal’s defensive unit for conceding just three league goals throughout the entire campaign so far this season.
Neville rates Arsenal star over everyone
Gary Neville delivered his verdict on Arsenal’s Jurrien Timber during his appearance on The Overlap.
“What I was thinking watching Arsenal vs Atletico, I was watching Lewis-Skelly, obviously Timber played, you’ve got Ben White and Calafiori, I thought all Arsenal’s full-backs are better than Liverpool’s, all four of them, that’s a big problem for Liverpool.” Neville said.
“Timber is the best full-back in the league at the moment.”
“I think Timber is almost, in my mind, I would class as being… do you know the guy that plays for Real Madrid? Carvajal. For me, he’s the best.

And I think Timber’s the nearest to him at the moment, I see, in terms of being able to do that bit and do that bit, do the forward bit well enough, but definitely cuts everything off down his side.”
Timber joined Arsenal from Ajax for £38.5m [$51m] two years ago but did spend most of his debut season recovering from an ACL injury.
The Netherlands international has delivered two goals and two assists in eight Premier League appearances this season.
