“Saul is just another excellent player,” Neville told Sky Sports.
“He’s got massive experience at the top of La Liga, massive experience in the Champions League and at international level. That’s Chelsea’s model
“They are a strong team. I’ve watched them twice already this season, away at Arsenal and away at Anfield.
“And the addition of Saul along with Romelu Lukaku makes them stronger and stronger and stronger. In the midfield with Jorginho, N’Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic they already look really strong.
