Antoine Griezmann ranks Mohamed Salah ahead of Phil Foden

Griezmann ranked Salah ahead of Foden when curating his top 10.

What Frank Lampard said about Salah and Foden

Interestingly, Antoine Griezmann isn’t the only player to make this comparison.

Indeed, Frank Lampard has also claimed that Salah is better than Foden, ranking the Liverpool ace ahead of the Man City star when ranking the best Premier League wingers.

“Mohamed Salah should be number one for what he’s achieved over the past few years. Mohamed Salah should be one, this is on camera, Mo, Mo Salah should be one for what he has achieved over the past seven years,” Lampard said.

The stats from last season would suggest that both players are very evenly matched
