DIKGACOI ON WHO WAS THE BEST PLAYER HE PLAYED WITH

“I could mention a lot that I’ve played with but I think a season where we had Wilfred Zaha at Crystal Palace,” Dikgacoi told iDiski Times.

“A lot of big teams were interested in him. He actually went to go play for Manchester United because that’s how good he was during that time.

“He’s one of the best players that I could think of now. Possibly outstanding out of all the players that I’ve played with.”

Meanwhile, he also revealed that Mesut Ozil was the toughest player he faced when the former German midfielder was still at Arsenal.
