According to Jason Cundy, Chelsea legend John Terry and not Liverpool centre-back Virgil van Dijk is the Premier League’s best ever centre-back.
Arsenal legend Martin Keown recently sparked controversy by claiming Van Dijk is the best centre-back in the Premier League’s history but Cundy doesn’t agree with Keown.
Cundy told talkSPORT: “Virgil van Dijk is a complete defender, right now he is the most complete defender.
“But the only thing I would say is he joined Liverpool at 26 and he’s now 28… John Terry was captain of Chelsea and lifting Premier League titles at 24!
“This was a player who was doing it at the very, very top and much younger. I think that has to come into it, doesn’t it?”
In 19 years in a Blues shirt, Terry lifted five Premier League titles, five FA Cups, three League Cups, the Champions League and the Europa League.
Van Dijk has a lot of catching up to do after winning just one Champions League trophy with Liverpool.
