And he rates the Brazilian so high that, he picked him ahead of the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Harry Maguire in his list of toughest defenders.

The Ghanaian is currently the Crystal Palace’s top scorer, having so far netted nine times in the Premier League.
The striker’s form has seen him involved in almost 40% of Crystal Palace’s goals this season, as the club sits 10th on the table.
