Josko Gvardiol tipped to become the world’s best centre-back
Josko Gvardiol has been tipped to become the world’s best defender, despite RB Leipzig’s drubbing at the hands of Manchester City., to secure a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League by an 8-1 aggregate scoreline.netted a staggering five times against the Bundesliga side, and in doing so, became the fastest and youngest player to reach 30 goals in Europe’s elite club competition.
The 22-year-old took his goal tally to 39 for the campaign in all competitions, and is the first City player to reach that figure in a single season. Despite Guardiola’s men netting seven goals, Owen Hargreaves believes RB Leipzig centre-back Gvardiol“I think the boys said it, three centre backs in the studio before, all top players. He [Gvardiol], I think, is an absolute top one,” Hargreaves told BT Sport.
“I think he’ll be the best centre-back in the world one day. He’s learned a lot today, and probably wouldn’t mind playing in a team like this rather than against them.
His performance, though, will certainly not put off potential suitors, with Gvardiol a target for several clubs this summer.
