The Premier League is full of inspirational talent, with the debate surrounding whether Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah or Manchester City’s Kevin de Bruyne will take player of the season intensifying over the weekend.
However, Salah’s Anfield teammate Roberto Firmino, clearly has an acute eye for top talent that many may miss, with the Brazilian forward has named Tottenham’s Moussa Sissoko among the Premier League’s best players.
The Frenchman, who arrived from Newcastle on deadline day in August 2016, is yet to live up to his £30million billing in north London, though has gradually become more central to Mauricio Pochettino’s plans this season.
The Liverpool striker was keen to point out the array of stars in-and-around the top six, claiming it’s hard to pick one who sticks out.
We have great players in English football, it’s hard to select one as the outright best, Firmino told Goal.
That’s why it’s the most popular league with many quality teams. We can talk about the goalscorers Salah and Harry Kane.
We also have Gabriel Jesus, Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan in Manchester City.
