Jonny Evans has revealed that former Liverpool star Luis Suarez was the toughest striker he ever faced during his time at the Reds. Evans believes that Suarez has it all, and that's why he's named him as the best he's ever faced.

“I’d go straight to Suarez when he was at Liverpool,” said the former Manchester United defender when he was asked the question on Sky Sports. “I think he was, I’d probably go Suarez, Drogba and Aguero, those three stand out more than the others.

You just never knew what you’d get with him, he’d bobble the ball through your legs, he was strong, brave, he was a real handful.” Former Reds defender Martin Kelly also witnessed Suarez at his peak and described him as one of the most unique players he’s ever encountered.
