Aaron Wan-Bissaka “is like rubber, the way he bends”, says Odion Ighalo, with Manchester United said to have acquired “one of the best right-backs”.
The Red Devils invested £50 million ($63m) in the highly-rated defender during the summer transfer window of 2019.
Wan-Bissaka was snapped up from Premier League rivals Crystal Palace, with his potential bought into after just one full season as a senior star at Selhurst Park.
The 22-year-old has slotted seamlessly into the fold at Old Trafford, with his debut campaign seeing him earn plenty of plaudits.
Ighalo is among those to have been impressed by the youngster, with the Nigerian having only linked up with United in January.
Wan-Bissaka’s ability to contain opponents and get tackles in are considered to be his biggest strengths, with few getting the better of him in one-on-one battles.
“The guy is one of the best right-backs,” on-loan striker Ighalo told Juliet Bawuah on Periscope.
“His waist is like rubber, the way he bends and steals the ball.
“I think this guy is going to get injured and then next second he’s going again. He’s very difficult to get past.
“He’s a very, very good player. His work-rate is amazing.”
