Liverpool have signed one of the best players in the world according to Alberto Aquilani’s former teammate Francesco Totti.
The Italian forward claims his ex-Roma teammate will be a huge success at Anfield despite only featuring in two substitute appearances for Rafa Benitez’s side.
The 25-year-old was brought to the Premier League in the summer as a direct replacement for the Real Madrid bound Xabi Alonso, and Totti suggests his compatriot and friend has all the talent to be a huge asset alongside Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres.
Totti is quoted by the Daily Mail saying: “Alberto is an incredibly talented player, with great technique and an excellent understanding of the game.”
“He also has a powerful shot with both feet – he really is a complete midfielder.”
“Alberto can play in any position in the middle of the park really, either a bit forward or a few steps behind.”
“The advantage he has is that he really understands the game and has great vision - he is dynamic and can make the last pass or try to score himself.”
“Here at Roma, with our 4-2-3-1 strategy, he was playing in front of the defence next to Daniele De Rossi or David Pizarro, but also as an attacking midfielder just off me. I think he can do very well in a 4-4-2 as well.”
Totti added: “He has been unlucky with injuries so far but I believe he will do really well in England. We are really good friends. We keep in touch even now that he has left us.”
“He is elegant and smart - these are his main characteristics. Potentially he is one of the best in the world.”
