Tottenham Hotspur's, Cristian Romero has declared that Lisandro Martinez is the best defender in the world.
Romero, a fellow Argentine defender, made this statement while interacting with his top five Argentine stars in the Premier League, during an interview with Prime Video Sport.
Martinez, who currently plays for Manchester United, is rated by Romero as the world's Premier defender.
It's worth noting that Martinez has been dealing with a foot injury since his match against Arsenal earlier this month, which has affected his availability, even though he joined the national team for international duty shortly thereafter.
Romero said: 'Licha, who for me is by far the best defender in the world.'
In the rankings provided by Cristian Romero, for the top Argentine stars in the Premier League, Alexis Mac Allister, Liverpool's new signing, claimed third place, while Enzo Fernandez of Chelsea secured the second spot.
Manchester United fans will be hopeful that Lisandro Martinez's absence won't be lengthy, and that when he returns, he'll be back to performing at a high level.
The former Ajax player is likely to miss the upcoming Premier League clash against Crystal Palace.
Manager Erik ten Hag will have several options to choose from at center-back, including Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof, Jonny Evans, and Harry Maguire.
However, there hasn't been confirmation yet regarding Martinez's expected return date.
