Zabaleta heaps praise on Barcelona’s Ronald Araujo

Ronald Araujo is enjoying a fine season with Barcelona and has come in for praise from former Manchester City center-back Pablo Zabaleta.

The Argentine has been in Uruguay where he was asked about the Barcelona defender and made it clear just how highly he rates the 22-year-old.

“He has settled in well playing with Xavi, he has performed in a line of four, three center backs,” he said.

“Physically he has a lot of presence, he dominates the aerial game and, without a doubt, he will be one of the great soccer players of Uruguayan soccer.
