Marseille legend Marcel Desailly has said that Mason Greenwood is not good enough to play for a top club in England. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he is not convinced that Greenwood is ready to join a truly elite club because he still needs another stepping stone to be prepared for top-level football.
Desailly added that he does not see clubs like Manchester City and Arsenal investing in the English forward.
His words, “When you look from outside and you look at the statistics and the goals that he has scored, you might be tempted. But does he really have the strength to be in a top Premier League club or top Spanish club? I’m not sure. I’m not sure he can adapt to that level.
I believe that he’s a player that should play in France for Marseille, he should play in Villarreal for Spain. And for the Premier League, it’s difficult. I would not say Tottenham, but maybe Aston Villa, eventually, for the Premier League.
I’m not sure he has the grade and the consistency on the field, because yes, he scores goals, the stats are good, but when you go to the Premier League you also need to have that consistency on how you put the discipline on the tactic that the coach has put in place. It’s too much.
Physically, he can be a storm and make the difference in France, but the drop is too much afterwards. He doesn’t appear for an hour, he’s not Messi! So for France, it’s fine but once you put him in a league that is a little bit higher on intensity and impact, I don’t know. I love him, but if I am Manchester City, if I am Arsenal, I would not buy Greenwood.”
WOW.
