Rather than mention Saka, who had 20 goals and 14 assists last term, Pires focused on Manchester City’s Jeremy Doku.

Asked by Wettbasis about the superior winger, Pires replied: "Bukayo still lacks a certain level of consistency and experience, especially in the big games.

"Perhaps this season, especially in the Champions League, he will show a more convincing face than last season when it counts.

"For example, in my opinion Jeremy Doku from Manchester City is a bit better because he is technically stronger, has better dribbling skills and is more imaginative.”
