'He could play for any team in the world' - Guardiola hails Bernardo Silva as Premier League's best

Manchester City star Bernardo Silva was the best player in England this season and could easily play for any club in the world, according to manager Pep Guardiola.

Bernardo has been involved in 14 Premier League goals, as well as notching four Champions League strikes, in an impressive year for City.

Those performances saw him nominated for both the PFA Player of the Year and the Young Player prize, though he was beaten by Virgil van Dijk and Raheem Sterling respectively.

Sterling also picked up the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year award, but Guardiola admitted his vote for all three would have gone to one of his other players.
