Luuk De Jong rates Frenkie above Busquets

In a chat with ESPN, Luuk De Jong was asked to choose between Sergio Busquets and Frenkie De Jong. His answer was direct: "De Jong".

Luuk played with both Busquets and Frenkie at Barcelona and should know who's the better player.

His choice might be down to solidarity with his countryman and international teammate more than anything else.

Frenkie would agree he's nowhere near Busquets when great midfielders in world football are being discussed, not in terms of titles or individual accolades.

However, it must be noted that both players don't play a similar role in midfield. Busquets prefers to play as a pivot or deep-lying midfielder whereas Frenkie is a central midfielder who likes to move up and down the pitch.
