The best two defenders in the Premier League right now, according to Tottenham center-back Cristian Romero, are Virgil van Dijk of Liverpool and Lisandro Martinez of Manchester United.

Romero also lauded fellow countryman and forward Lionel Messi of Paris Saint-Germain.

He stated that there is currently no player in world football that can be compared to the Argentine captain.

Speaking in an interview with Sky Sports (via Mundo Albiceleste), Romero said, “Today, the best defender for me is Virgil van Dijk, always, and Lisandro Martnez from Manchester United." For me, they are the best in the Premier League. "

He added, “Messi, for me, is a different class of player." I have never seen a player like him in my life.

“He does incredible things, and I don’t think there is any comparison." It is brilliant to play with him. "
