Rio Ferdinand has heaped praise on Liverpool star Joe Gomez by claiming the young centre-back is on his way to becoming the best defender in England.
The 21-year-old has been a mainstay of Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool side this season and has started in ten of the Reds' Premier League games this season, while also featuring for the full 90 minutes in England's Nations League victories over both Spain and Croatia.
Gomez's impressive form has led Ferdinand to insist that the former Charlton Athletic prospect has all the necessary ingredients to make it to the very top of the English game.
