Liverpool legend Carragher rates Chelsea target Filipe Luis "best left-back in Europe"

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher is full of praise for Atletico Madrid fullback Filipe Luis.

Luis is a top target for Chelsea this summer.

Carragher, discussing Brazil's capitulation against Germany, wrote in the Daily Mail: "It started with Marcelo, who has been poor from game one, and can't defend.

"He was trying to be clever with a step-over, followed by a blind pass. Germany broke, he scampered back and conceded the corner and was then apologising.

"I'm still astonished that Atletico Madrid's Filipe Luis is not in the squad never mind the team as I didn't see a better left back in Europe last season - or in this competition to date."
