Premier League star names his dream front three - and snubs Liverpool forward

Portuguese media asked Wolves youngster Ruben Vinagre to pick his top three attackers in English football, and he only had room for two of Liverpool's.

The 19-year-old left wing-back has impressed whenever he's been called upon by boss Nuno Espirito Santo this season, and has featured 19 times in all competitions.

Vinagre is also rumoured to have received transfer interest from the likes of Barcelona and Liverpool themselves, and if he were to move to the Reds then he'd seemingly be pretty excited to play alongside two of their famed front three.

Portuguese newspaper O Jogo have been seeking to get the thoughts on the Reds from Portuguese players who are based in England ahead of Liverpool's Champions League clash with Porto.

And Vinagre says Jurgen Klopp's side possess two of the best three attackers in England.

“For me, the top three attackers in England are (Roberto) Firmino, (Mohamed) Salah and (Sergio) Aguero," said Vinagre.

"I really admire the first two. (Sadio) Mane is also very good, but the two are excellent.

"Firmino is very complete, hardworking, often comes out of the striker area and makes it very difficult.

"Salah is objective, he leaves the dribble and goes for the goal. He’s very direct and you need to be aware of that.”

The Reds host Porto at Anfield in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday, while they welcome Wolves to Merseyside on the last day of the Premier League season.
