The Premier League is stacked to the brim with talent. If it's not Mohamed Salah regarded as the best, then David de Gea and Kevin De Bruyne are in contention for most fans.
Jamie Carragher has now entered the conversation and revealed the footballer he thinks is the best in the Premier League.

And no, it's not a Liverpool star either.
"I think [Eden] Hazard is the best player in the Premier League," he said on Sky Sports (via the Daily Mirror).
"What I mean by that is De Bruyne and Salah were the best players last season, [but] I'm talking over a four or five-year period if I think 'who's the man?' I do, I think he's fantastic.
"I think he was the best player at the World Cup. I should say that, I think he should have won player of the tournament.
"But he's been used really well by the manager.
"The great thing that I love and say about every top attacking player is they can't be bullied, they can't be knocked off the ball.
"Me, as a defender, thinks 'can I get at him? Can I wind him up? Can I do this? Can I do that?'
"No, he's too strong."
Hazard, who had been linked with a move to Real Madrid in the summer, has transferred his excellent form with Belgium to Chelsea this season.
The 27-year-old has scored five times for the Blues this season, successfully bagging a hat-trick over the weekend against Cardiff.
According to the BBC, Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri believes Hazard could win the Premier League Golden Boot.
"We have spoken and I told him he can score 40 goals," he said. "He has to improve some things, but he can do it."
