“I can say that for me, he is the best player in the world. Because he is quality. He has won the Champions League .
“He has done everything for Liverpool and in all competitions, unfortunately not the Premier League but I hope he does at some point because for me, he’s the best African player in Europe.
“He plays well, he does everything well both in football and life.”
