Tammy Abraham rates Arsenal star ahead of Lamine Yamal

Lamine Yamal continues to impress both Spain and Europe with his world-class performances. The teenager has captivated not only neutrals but also the opposition with his fine displays. In the recently concluded first-leg fixture against Inter Milan at Camp Nou, the Barcelona wonderkid sparked a comeback for the Catalans after they had gone two goals behind.

However, Tammy Abraham, the former Chelsea striker, does not feel the same way. In one of the videos that surfaced on TikTok, he ranked Bukayo Saka above Lamine Yamal and Ousmane Dembélé. The AC Milan striker mentioned that he absolutely loves Saka and placed him at the top of the list.

In the ongoing campaign, Lamine Yamal has been instrumental in helping Barcelona stage a comeback after losing ground in the league. In over 47 games across all competitions, Yamal has recorded 13 goals and 15 assists, while Saka has contributed 24 goal involvements in 32 games. Meanwhile, Ousmane Dembélé is living up to his potential at Paris Saint-Germain, enjoying a rich vein of form with 32 goals across all competitions. If PSG face Barcelona in the final of the continental showdown, it would not be surprising if Dembélé receives Ballon d’Or consideration.

What did Theirry Henry have to say about the teen prodigy? 

Thierry Henry, Arsenal and Barcelona superstar is full of praises for the teenager. Talking about Lamine Yamal, he compared the player with the likes of Messi and Ronaldo and hinted at him breaking the records set by them. He said:

We can talk about a lot of guys who are supposed to be on the throne and whatnot. But one thing that amazes me about football is that you always think there is no way someone is going to be better – or might be better – than [Lionel] Messi and [Cristiano] Ronaldo. Or in my time, Pele or [Diego] Maradona... and then Yamal arrives.
