Steven Gerrard is the best midfielder to have graced the Premier League according to former Tottenham Hotspur player Jamie O'Hara.
The TalkSPORT pundit highlighted how he played against the likes of Paul Scholes for Manchester United and Frank Lampard at Chelsea, but Gerrard was a "machine" and a cut above the rest.
Manchester City 's Kevin De Bruyne is doing extraordinary things in the Premier League at the moment, but O'Hara believes Gerrard is the best the Premier League has ever seen.

Gerrard captained Liverpool for over a decade and lifted everything other than the Premier League while sometimes carrying the club on his back.
O'Hara told TalkSPORT: "Gerrard goes down for me as the best midfielder the Premier League has ever seen. I played against Scholes, I played against Gerrard, I played against Lampard. For me, Gerrard was on another planet to any other player that I walked on a football pitch with. He was unbelievable, he was a machine.
"I walked off the pitch when I played against him and was like, ‘Oh my word, I’ve come up against a player that I couldn’t get near in any single form of the game’. Heading, crossing, passing, strength, decision-making, awareness, pace, ability – he had everything.
"He carried the club on his back for how many years? De Bruyne is an amazing player. He will go down as one of the greats in the Premier League, but not the greatest. The greatest midfielder the Premier League has ever seen is Steven Gerrard. Without a shadow of a doubt."
