Liverpool's Martin Skrtel: 'Luis Suarez is best striker in Premier League'

Skrtel: 'Suarez best in league'

Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel believes that Luis Suarez is currently the best striker in the Premier League.

The 25-year-old has netted 13 goals in all competitions for the Reds so far this season and Skrtel has claimed that it is too "hard" to keep track of the Uruguayan.

"I face him every day in training so I know how hard it is to mark Suarez," the Liverpool Echo quotes Skrtel as saying.

"The goal he scored against Newcastle recently was one of the best goals I've ever seen. He really showed his skills and his quality. I'm glad Luis is in our team and at this moment he's the best striker in the Premier League."

Meanwhile, Suarez is unlikely to start for Liverpool in tonight's Europa League clash against Young Boys at Anfield.
