Manchester City and Everton's former defender Lescott said in Sky Sports that Liverpool midfielder Heraffenberg has achieved transformation under Slotte's training, and he can already be among the best midfielders in football today.

In the show, Lescott was asked whether Heraffenberg was the best midfielder in the world. Lescott said: "It makes sense to discuss this. His contribution, goals and assists on the court are excellent. Heraffenberg is a member of the championship team and one of the best No. 6 players in the Premier League. It can be said that Heraffenberg was the best player in Liverpool last season."

"He should definitely be included in the discussion of the best midfielder. Being able to rank at a certain position in the Premier League is enough to be among the best in the world."
