Fernando Llorente: 'Paul Pogba can be world's best'

Juventus striker Fernando Llorente says that teammate Paul Pogba has the potential to be the world's best player.

Fernando Llorente has backed Juventus teammate Paul Pogba to eventually develop into the world's best footballer.

The French midfielder, 22, has emerged as one of the world's best young talents after joining the Italian giants on a free transfer from Manchester United in 2012.

Speculation is rife that the £70m-rated Pogba will be the subject of a bidding war between Manchester City and Real Madrid during the summer months.

"He has an incredible future ahead of him. He is a player that can become whatever he wants. In my opinion, he could become the best in the world," Llorente told Marca.

Pogba's contract expires in 2019.
