Ex-England footballer believes that Messi is not needed by the leading clubs in the Premier League
Former England international Danny Mills said it would be difficult for Lionel Messi to establish himself in the Premier League’s top clubs.
“I think he is the best footballer I have ever seen. I haven’t seen Cruyff live, I haven’t seen Maradona.
I know that Ronaldo’s numbers can be a little better and he’s better in big games and everything, but in terms of pure football, Messi is the best. But would you take Messi to your team now? Probably not. We’re talking about the Premier League, aren’t we realistic. Liverpool wouldn’t take him, City wouldn’t take him, Tottenham wouldn’t take him. No, I don’t think they would,” Mills said.
Messi made 26 appearances for PSG in Ligue 1 last season, scoring six goals and making 14 assists.
