World Cup: People seem to write him off – Kyle Walker picks best forward

Former Manchester City defender, Kyle Walker, has picked Argentina captain Lionel Messi as the best forward at the ongoing FIFA World Cup tournament.

Walker believes Messi is by far ahead of the likes of England’s Harry Kane, France’s Kylian Mbappe and Norway’s Erling Haaland.

Speaking during a session with talkSPORTS, Walker noted that people seem to write Messi off, adding that what the Inter Miami captain has done in football is scary.

When asked about the best forward amid the ongoing World Cup tournament, Walker said, “Messi by far. What he does with a football is scary; it shouldn’t really happen. I think people seem to write him off all the time, or he’s getting a little bit too old.

“Is this probably going to be the last World Cup? But to do what he’s done and if they retain the World Cup, what a dream that will be for him to go with.”
