Everton boss David Moyes believes that Marouane Fellaini is better than great players such as Arsenal captain Francesc Fabregas, Chelsea star player Frank Lampard, and Liverpool’s talismanic leader Steven Gerrard. The Toffees’ boss recently declared that the club’s attack-minded Belgian international is “the best midfielder in England”.

Following the club’s 1-1 Boxing Day draw with Sunderland, a game in which Fellaini scored to level the scoreline, Moyes gave praise to Felliani.

“It was a reward for how the players have played in the last week or two. We have played much better and looked more like ourselves, and in Marouane Fellaini, we have probably got the best midfield player in the country at the moment. He is outstanding the way he is playing. He was exceptional on Saturday and his goal was deserved for the way he played.” Moyes said.
