Blackburns Phil Jones har varit makalöst bra sedan Premier League-debuten mot Chelsea den 21:a mars.

BBC-experten Alan Hansen gav Jones debut omdömes ”unbelievably good”, medan managern Sam Allardyce beskrev tonåringens debut så här: ”He made his debut and it was an outstanding performance from the young man, he showed a lot of commitment and a lot of quality and it revved everybody up”.

Inte illa, alltså.

Nu ställer sig Blackburns ålderman Michel Salgado i hyllningskören. Den 34-årige spanjoren gillar onekligen var han har sett av den 16 år yngre engelsmannen.

”He’s a great centre back. He’s played around 10 consecutive games and he’s proved that he’s ready to play for us,” sa Salgado till The Daily Mail.

Vidare jämförde Salgado honom med John Terry.

”He probably going to be the next Terry, but he’s probably more comfortable on the ball.”

Salgado är övertygad om att Jones kommer att bli ännu bättre till nästa säsong.

”He’s in a great situation.Next season he’s going to feel even more confident, a real senior player at Blackburn.

”It’s important for him and for us because we are going to count on him next season.”
