Manchester United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been hailed as the best defender in all of England by former international, Paul Parker.
Parker, who represented the Three Lions plenty of times, delved into the variety of options Gareth Southgate has at right-back.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka has climbed up to be top choice but there seems to be strong competition from the likes of Kyle Walker, Kieran Trippier, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Reece James.
“As a defender there is no one in England as good as Wan-Bissaka, he is like Des Walker, but on the other side of it, going forward, he still has a lot to learn,” Parker told Tribal Football.
“James is too early to play for England and not a regular at Chelsea yet. But he has done very well and dug deep in the lower divisions in Wigan, and being a regular at your isn’t always necessary to play for your national side.”
Parker is not too sold on Alexander-Arnold’s defensive abilities. The Liverpool fullback is widely praised for his abilities going forward but many have critiqued his defensive output.
“Alexander-Arnold plays in a team where he is always crossing and getting forward, so his involvement in attacking areas is more than other full backs,” Parker added. “But I always judge a full-back on their defensive work.”
