Bernardo Silva is 'definitely' the best player in the Premier League apart from Mohamed Salah, insists Owen Hargreaves... with ex-midfielder comparing Manchester City star's pressing skills to N'Golo Kante

Bernardo Silva is the best player in the Premier League apart from his Liverpool counterpart Mohamed Salah, according to Owen Hargreaves.

The Manchester City star has scored seven goals in 15 top-flight appearances so far this season in a stunning start to the campaign for him and Pep Guardiola's table toppers.

Only Leicester City star Jamie Vardy and Liverpool duo Diogo Jota and Salah have scored more Premier League goals than the Portugal international in 2021-22.
