Former Aston Villa captain Gabby Agbonlahor has snubbed Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka while naming Europe’s top five players at the moment.
Both Salah and Saka are arguably the two most in-form wingers in the English Premier League.
Salah has scored 13 goals and registered five assists in 19 appearances across all competitions for the Reds this season.
Saka, on the other hand, has scored eight goals and provided 11 assists in 20 appearances for the Gunners.
Saka’s performance left Arsenal legend Martin Keown impressed, leading him to say (via talkSPORT): “Looking at Saka, we are talking about the assists and the goals he scores—the best in Europe right now.”
However, Agbonlahor disagreed and named his own top five list, saying: “First of all, Saka is an outstanding talent, an unbelievable player, but I would not put him in the top five players in Europe at the moment.
“In the first place, it has to be Erling Haaland. Number two, I would probably go with Kevin De Bruyne. What he did last season—28 goal involvements in the treble win—is outstanding.
“Number three, I have got to go Jude Bellingham. Number four, Harry Kane. And number five, Kylian Mbappe.”
