Everton manager Marco Silva has praised Andy Robertson but believes Lucas Digne is a better left-back than the Scotsman, according to a report on the Liverpool Echo.
Robertson and Digne have both had fantastic seasons, with many fans and pundits believing that Robertson should win the PFA Player of the Year award.
Digne has been a revelation for the Toffees this season and Silva believes that the Frenchman is a superior full-back. He said:
He [Digne] is one of the best, I don’t have doubts about that. He is proving that. I do not have all the names in my mind at the moment but Lucas has stayed there with the best.
Robertson is a very good one also. He is a fantastic boy, a fantastic professional. He is our rival but he deserves everything he is achieving in his career but Lucas is Lucas, and Lucas, for me, is the best one because he is our player and playing in our blue shirt.
We are really happy with him, he is enjoying his football and our fans love him and he has been everything we expected when we signed a player such as him.
Silva worked with Robertson during their time together at Hull City but the Scottish international has found another level whilst working with Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.
