Chelsea marksman Didier Drogba has labelled Cristiano Ronaldo as the best player in the Premiership.
The Ivory Coast international reckons the Portuguese star has progressed greatly this season.
"What Cristiano Ronaldo achieved this season is just extraordinary," Drogba declared. "He has matured, his football is more efficient."
Ronaldo signed for United in 2003 and was an instant hit, but he has added a killer final ball and goals to his game, scoring 17 so far this season in the Premiership. And Drogba thinks the signs are ominous for a player who is still only 22:
"He will be stronger in the future seasons," the Premiership's leading scorer predicted.
"Today, without a doubt, he is the best Premier League player."
