Alphonso Davies has seen his direct running down the left flank earn comparisons to Ryan Giggs and Gareth Bale, with Karl Robinson backing the Bayern Munich youngster to become “one of the very best players in the world”.
The exciting 19-year-old defender saw his stock rise again when helping to tear Barcelona to pieces in a stunning 8-2 victory for Bayern over the Liga giants in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Davies gave Nelson Semedo a torrid time in that contest, with the flying full-back having come a long way since being handed his senior debut by Robinson at MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps in 2016.
