Former Manchester United striker, Odion Ighalo, has named Real Madrid star, Karim Benzema, as the best striker in the world.

Ighalo, who currently plays for Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, believes Benzema has been incredible over the last two years.

Recall that Benzema recently won the Ballon d’Or last year.

Speaking with FIFA ahead of preparations for the Club World Cup slated for February, Ighalo said, “For me, at the moment, he’s [Karim Benzema] the best striker [in the world].

“He’s been incredible over the last two years. I am very happy that he’s been winning awards.”
