Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella has praised Nigerian striker Christantus Uche, referring to him as one of the standout players in LaLiga.
The Spanish left-back made this remark while commenting on the widening gap between England’s Premier League and Spain’s top division, using Uche’s recent move to England as an example.
Uche recently made a loan switch from Getafe in LaLiga to Premier League side Crystal Palace on the final day of the transfer window.
Cucurella, who previously played for Getafe before making his own move to England, told AS: “The distribution of money in England is evener.”
“For example, the teams that get promoted get a lot of money, and in the end, that allows all teams to sign great players, and that evens out the league.
“That is why every game in the Premier League is a battle. Sunderland, who just got promoted, has invested two hundred million in players, and Crystal Palace has signed two of the best in La Liga, Yeremy and Uche.
“That is something they should fix, because La Liga is falling behind the Premier League, and that is driving players to England to play.”
