Former Chelsea midfielder John Mikel Obi has named ex-Arsenal striker Thierry Henry as the best player in Premier League history. Over the years, the English top flight has been graced with several incredible footballers, leading to ongoing debates about who the greatest player of all time is.
Many would choose Newcastle United’s Alan Shearer, who tops the all-time goalscorers’ chart with 260 goals. For others, former Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest, despite spending just six years in England. Most Chelsea supporters might argue that Didier Drogba , Frank Lampard, and John Terry deserve recognition due to their influence between 2004 and 2015.
However, Mikel Obi, who played alongside Lampard, Drogba, and Terry, believes Salah has not done enough to be named the greatest player in Premier League history. “Numbers-wise, you can put Salah in the conversation, but when you want to talk about a complete player, you can’t put him in the conversation,” Mikel said on the Obi One Podcast. “I’m a huge fan of Salah; he’s my friend.
