Nigerian singer and songwriter Ikuforiji Olaitan Abdulrahman popularly known as Oxlade has revealed his admiration for Barcelona's sensational young midfielder Pedri Gonzalez.

The 20-year-old is widely regarded as one of the best young talents in the modern game.

The highly-rated young midfielder who joined the Catalan giants from Las Palmas in the summer of 2020 won the KOPA trophy a year on after impressing in his first season.

Pedri has also become an instrumental figure in the Barca setup forming a formidable bond with teen sensation Gavi in the Barca midfield.

The duo combined to produce a remarkable performance against Real Madrid in the finals of the Spanish Super Cup last Sunday, as the Catalan giants beat their rivals to their first silverware under manager Xavi Hernandez.

The Nigerian singer believes no midfielder at Pedri's age can match his level as he heaped praises on the Spanish international.

“No midfielder at Pedri’s age is on his level,” the singer noted.
