Mohamed Salah, Son Heung-min, Andre Onana and Kaoru Mitoma are among the ones to watch.

00:00 Absolutely exceptional player, all-time great, shadow of doubt.
00:04 The quality he has as a player is pretty evident to anybody
00:08 who's been following the Premier League and world football.
00:11 We are happy with our goalkeeping group.
00:23 Definitely with Andre and Andre Coman,
00:26 he was in one semi-final Champions League,
00:29 he was last season in a final Champions League.
00:32 So he has the capabilities to be one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
00:39 He showed that and he will do.
00:41 He can play in any position in the back line,
00:48 any formation in the back line,
00:50 and we don't have a player like him.
00:51 And defending is probably one of the best that I've seen in many situations,
00:57 and his concept, his principle, the way he applies it,
01:00 the way he goes into duels.
01:01 I said to the guys at Celtic,
01:07 because Brighton put him in Belgium first year on the loan,
01:14 I said to him, "You watch this guy, when he hits Premier League,
01:16 he's going to rip it apart."
01:18 I knew.
01:19 Newt Thomas is a crucial part of the team for us,
01:25 because in one-to-one in the last 25 meetings,
01:29 in terms of goals,
01:35 he's one of the most important players.
01:38 He's known for a long time,
01:44 the quality he has as a player is pretty evident to anybody
01:48 who's been following the Premier League and world football,
01:51 and I had the advantage of already having a glimpse into him as a person.
01:56 I guess the only new thing for him is that he's taken over a leadership role
02:02 within the group here, and again, he's taken to that really well.
02:08 Absolutely exceptional player, all-time great,
02:15 Shadow of a doubt.
02:17 I was blessed to have a few good ones, to be honest,
02:20 but as I said, he's right up there and the numbers are super special.
02:24 (upbeat music)
02:26 (dramatic music)
