Former Chelsea forward Tony Cascarino believes Thiago Alcantara is one of the most 'gifted players' he has seen in the Premier League.
The Spanish international initially struggled to get to grips with life in the Premier Leagu e following his £25million move to the Reds from Bayern Munich. However, the Liverpool playmaker certainly found his feet last season with a string of impressive displays.
Thiago has fast become the heartbeat of the Reds midfield alongside Fabinho and was in fine form once again as Liverpool saw off Manchester City in the Community Shield at the King Power yesterday.
