Former Chelsea star Ramires has named who he thinks is the best Brazilian player in the Premier League right now.

Brazil are the favourites to win the 2022 World Cup and 12 of their 26 squad members currently ply their trade in the Premier League for some of the biggest teams including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United.

According to Ramires, who was capped 54 times by Brazil, Manchester United midfielder Casemiro is the best Brazilian player in the Premier League.

Ramires said as per Metro: “I have so many Brazilian friends still playing in the Premier League so it’s very hard to pick a standout player.

“There are a lot of young boys coming through who are right up there for me. A lot of players are so important for their teams but maybe play a different role for the national team.

“The likes of Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli and Antony have been incredible so far this season.

“I feel like my back is literally against a wall when I’m being asked to pick a standout player, because there are so many talented Brazilians in England right now.

“But, for me, one player who has made the most impact is Casemiro. He is solid, and he’s a great addition, not only to Manchester United, but to the Premier League as well.”
