Super Eagles and Leganes defender, Kenneth Omeruo has chosen France’s and Real Madrid striker, Karim Benzema, as the best player he has ever come up against.
The Nigeria international went up against Benzema earlier this season as his side lost 5-0 to the La Liga giants at the Bernabeau with the ex Lyon striker grabbing a goal and two assists in the game. The 26-year-old has played against some of the best players in the world including Lionel Messi but he singled out the French man who has notched in 10 La Liga goals this term because of his positioning.
“Benzema. It’s not only because he is a good goalscorer, but he works hard and he is difficult to mark because of his positioning,” Omeruo told AS.
The former Chelsea defender has made nine appearances for Los Pepineros so far this season.
