Speaking to Rising Ballers, the ‘Thrill’ rapper said that the best player they had played against was Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne.

He said: “Best player I’ve played against - it’s difficult, I’ve played with a lot of top players.

“I’d probably say Kevin De Bruyne just because he’s the all-round top player. He’s the most complete midfielder I think in the Premier League, and he works so hard off the ball.

“On the ball, everyone knows his qualities and he’s a leader of the team as well, so I’d probably say him.”

Moreover, when asked about the most underrated footballer he’d played with or against, Dide said: “I’d probably say Jordan Henderson is the most underrated.

“Everyone sees him as this player that’s just running around, doesn’t influence the games much or do much with the ball, but he’s a top, top midfielder and it’s not a coincidence that he’s been the captain for Liverpool for so many years.

“The stuff he does on the pitch is crazy and he’s definitely a top, top player.”
