ARTETA'S DEFENCE IS OUT OF THIS WORLD
Western Daily Press
|October 31, 2025
JOLEON LESCOTT believes Arsenal have the best defence in world football.
Mikel Arteta’s side have started this season on a mission. They are four points clear at the top of the Premier League after nine games, having lost just once.
Even more impressively, the Gunners have conceded only three goals during this period. A defence that usually features Jurrien Timber (inset), Gabriel, William Saliba and Riccardo Calafiori is statistically the best in the topflight.
