“My nephew was amazing, he was the best player in the world, everyone knows it,” he told El Larguero.

“If you like football, you go to see Lamine, not Harry Kane. Harry Kane is a great goalscorer but Lamine is the best player who shines on the pitch.

”Lamine is very young, he’s 19, he’ll win more, but Harry only has three days of football left and we’re giving him the ball.”

“He’s won a World Cup, La Liga, and the Super Cup. He plays very well. He’s had an incredible season. He scores goals that nobody else scores. Passes, assists, you name it.”
