Liverpool legend John Barnes labels Joe Gomez as ‘one of the most underrated players in the Premier League’
Liverpool defender Joe Gomez is “one of the most underrated players in the Premier League”, according to Anfield great John Barnes.Gomez, 21, has had a fantastic season at Liverpool so far, forming a formidable partnership with Virgil van Dijk at the back that has seen them ship just five goals in twelve Premier League games this season.2

Van Dijk and Gomez have improved Liverpool’s defence dramatically this season

The former Charlton man has also been in brilliant form for England, most recently helping the Three Lions make it to next summer’s finals of the UEFA Nations League after completing a 2-1 turnaround win over Croatia.His form has led to comparisons with the great Bobby Moore, who captained England when they won the World Cup in 1966.Meanwhile, Gomez is set for a bumper new contract with Liverpool as a reward for his splendid form.And Barnes was also full of praise for the centre-back, claiming Gomez is improving game after game.2

Gomez made many appearances at right-back last season but is now a regular fixture in the centre

Barnes, speaking exclusively for bookmaker comparison platformBonusCodeBets.co.uk, said:“[Gomez] one of the most underrated players in the Premier League.“Hes learning from one of the best defenders in the world [Van Dijk] and keeps improving, game after game.”“If England play a back five then he absolutely should be starting for me. [Harry] Maguire and [John] Stones just about pip him for an automatic place in a four-man defence.”
