Gonzalo Higuain Names The Player He Thinks Is Like Lionel Messi

Gonzalo Higuain has heaped massive, and we mean massive, praise on Paulo Dybala by comparing the budding superstar to the great Lionel Messi.

The Argentine starlet has enjoyed a meteoric rise to stardom following his move from Palermo to Juventus, helping the 'Old Lady' clean up domestic honours.

And the 23-year-old attacker continues to churn out impressive performances while being heralded as a future superstar, having already bagged three goals as well as two assists this campaign.

Needless to say, Dybala is attracting plenty of interest and subject to high acclaim by fellow compatriot Higuain.

"Dybala and Messi are lot like each other. Messi is the best and he shows it every day." He said via Yahoo Sports.

"Paulo is still young, he's 23 years old and depends on what's coming in the future, he has all the characteristics to become one of the best players."

"It has to have a great mental strength. When reaching so fast at high levels it is not easy to stay there for many years."

"There will be many ups and downs and you will always have to keep a balance and not listen to criticism and praise."

The ultimate compliment.
