Former Mali international, Frederic Kanoute, believes Inaki Williams is among the top 3 best players in Africa at the moment.
Williams emerged as the best African footballer in La Liga following a successive campaign in the 2023/24 season after his fine season with Athletic Bilbao.
The former Mali international is of the view that only Ademola Lookman and Mohamed Salah are currently ahead of the Athletic Bilbao forward.
“I would say it is difficult to [name my top three African players]. I am thinking about Inaki Williams who had a fantastic season with Athletic Bilbao,” Kanoute, who is a 2007 African Footballer of the Year told 3Sports.
“It’s difficult for me to give names but maybe I will say Ademola Lookman, Mohamed Salah and Inaki Williams.”
The 29-year-old was voted as the LALIGA EA SPORTS African MVP, an award which recognises exceptional talent in the Spanish topflight.
Williams scored 12 goals and provided three assists in 34 La Liga games.
