Dalglish Hails 'Fantastic' Defender As Among The Best In England

Kenny Dalglish has hailed centre-back Daniel Agger's return to the Liverpool team and believes the Dane is up with there with the very best defenders in the Premier League.

Agger has impressed since returning to the Reds line-up after his injury lay-off and has helped the team to back-to-back clean sheets.

And Dalglish is convinced Agger has all the attributes to make him one of the best players in the league and is confident his injury problems are behind him.

"Daniel's a fantastic player but it wasn't just down to Daniel that we've had two clean sheets," said Dalglish.

"He's a fantastic player and he's probably as good as anyone else in his position in the Barclays Premier League.

"He's comfortable in possession and he's a very good defender as well.

"He's a top defender, a top player. He played left-back for us at Stoke as well and did very well.

"It's great to have him back and I hope his fitness remains as it is for a long time."
