Former Barcelona striker Luuk de Jong has had some kind words for Ronald Araujo this week
The Dutchman has revealed he knew instantly that Araujo would become a great player and thinks he’s gone on to become the best in the world in his position.
“When I played at Sevilla, he made his debut for Barcelona in a game against us. I immediately thought: this is a world-class player in the making,” he said.
“He was just 20 at the time. Uruguayan, fast, strong, also good on the ball. He is now 24 and will be the best defender in the world for the foreseeable future.
