Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba and Tottenham star Dele Alli have exchanged praise this week.
Speaking with the London Evening Standard for an adidas event, Pogba declared his admiration for Alli.
“I think he is worth even more than £100m because you see how he plays — he is very talented but still very young," said Pogba. “But he is mature as well — you can see that in his football. He can deal with the talk. You can see he doesn't care. He should, and will, focus on his football, and the rest, they will always speak. Always focus on the field."
Alli, meanwhile, admits he's a big fan of the Frenchman.
“Paul is someone who I massively respect'," he said. “It is very easy to get carried away and buy into all that stuff, but with good people around you, it is easy to stay focused as well. Your priorities in life matter a lot. And if the priority is just football, then you don't think too much about what people are saying around it. There are always going to be rumours about moving and what you are worth, but if you only focus on the football, that's all you are going to see."
