My religion was full of Praise for the young Manchester United player Imad After his memorable late winner against City, he said: “It’s been really difficult to pick strikers this week, but Amad Diallo is the only one not thinking about it. He was excellent, turning the Manchester derby on its head. As a youngster, it seems he It grows better and better.
“All this hype about Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford, Diallo seems to be doing his job and delivering on a regular basis, and that’s what it’s all about.”
Deeney also pointed to Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak for once again showing his qualities, explaining that he sees the in-form Sweden international as the ideal signing for Arsenal.
He said: “The best striker in the English Premier League at this time. Yes I said that and yes I stand by it. He is the complete striker. Unrealistic. Every time I watch it I think, How did Arsenal not sign him?
“He’s a really good player and finisher. He’s a hunter but he’s also a silky player. You don’t see a lot of silky catchers.
