Paul Pogba shocks fans on iShowSpeed’s stream with bold claims on world’s best footballer
The French superstar Paul Pogba may be out of action because of a suspension, but on Tuesday he surprised fans by appearing on a live stream of iShowSpeed.
iShowSpeed aka Speed is a YouTube sensation, and many footballers have appeared with the streamer in the past, including Rafael Leao and Alejandro Garnacho. This appearance by the former Manchester United star immediately sparked wild reactions on the internet. Fans loved watching Pogba back in his charm as he made his first appearance since the ban was reduced to 18 months.
The French midfielder was quizzed about the best player in the world right now and he went with Vinicius Jr. Pogba claimed that the Brazilian was too good and the ones following him as Erling Haaland and Harry Kane.
The Frenchman did not mention Ballon d’Or winner Rodri but heaped praise on Lamine Yamal after his historic rise to the scene in the last year. He believes that Spaniard can become one of the best in a few months and said:
“Honestly talking? I would give it to Vini. Vini’s good and he’s cold bro. Haaland also deserves it man and Harry Kane is scoring goals and goals. [When Lamine Yamal was mentioned] Yeah, he’s cold. Right now he’s been killing it, at the Euros he had games and he was killing it. He’s so young and he won it. He’s the best young player in the world. Give him a few more months and can you imagine if he won the Champions League this year? He’s 17, he still has homework!”

Paul Pogba nearing comeback in January
Paul Pogba can start training with his club in January but will have to wait until March to make his return to the pitch. He released a statement following the ban being cut by CAS and said:
“Following the decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, I can look forward to the day when I can follow my dreams again. I always stated that I never knowingly breached World Anti-Doping Agency regulations when I took a nutritional supplement prescribed to me by a doctor, which does not affect or enhance the performance of male athletes. I play with integrity, and although I must accept that this is a strict liability offence, I want to place on record my thanks to the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s judges who heard my explanation. This has been a hugely distressing period in my life because everything I have worked so hard for has been put on hold. Thank you again for all the love and support. I just cannot wait to get back on the pitch.”
Reports suggest Pogba will not play for Juventus again with the club working on terminating his contract. MLS side and Saudi Pro League clubs are keeping tabs on the situation and are ready to sign him.
