West Ham United star Jarrod Bowen has named Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson on Twitter as the best defender he has played against.
Bowen, who can operate as a winger, midfielder or forward, made the comment about the 26-year-old Scotland international left-back during a Q&A session on West Ham’s official Twitter page.
While many would have expected a different Liverpool player to be named by the former Hull City star – Virgil van Dijk – the 23-year-old has actually named Robertson.
