As well as talk of him competing with Declan Rice for the position of the Premier League’s best midfielder, there’s been talk of him being the best midfielder in the world. As you’d expect from the humble superstar, he played that comparison down:
“There are so many good players in my position. I’m doing my best. But I need to show more because I feel like I can do more. With goals, with assists, I can feel it.”
He already has improved his scoring and assisting this season. As for those Rice comparisons…

“People compare him and myself but I’m so happy he’s doing really well. I enjoy watching him play because he’s so good. I want to play against the best defensive and attacking midfielders in the world and he’s one of them. I’m waiting. It’s nice that people compare us, but we are not fighting. He wants to do well. I’m going to fight. I’m ready. Everybody is ready. I’m looking forward to it.”
So we are, Moises.
In other news…
A potentially massive factor in the game tomorrow will be whether Wesley Fofana is risked. He’s a top player, but already played 90 minutes against Barcelona in midweek, and now Enzo Maresca has to decide whether to risk him again.
