Jose Enrique has admitted on Twitter that he did not realise that Everton winger Anthony Gordon has been quicker than Liverpool winger Luis Diaz in the Premier League this season.

The former Liverpool star has said that he thought that Diaz was the quickest player in the Premier League.

The pundit has pointed out official Premier League stats to note that Everton winger Gordon has been quicker than Liverpool ace Diaz this season.

Anthony Gordon is a very quick player, and we are not surprised to see the stat from the Everton winger.

The 21-year-old is a very talented and promising young player and is the future of Everton.

The England Under-21 international has made 11 starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League for Frank Lampard’s side so far this season.

Gordon has scored three goals in those matches.

Diaz, though, is the better player and is also more mature and developed.

The 25-year-old Liverpool winger is a very quick and skilful player who did well for Jurgen Klopp’s side this season before his injury.

The £37 million (SkySports) Colombia international winger has scored three goals and given two assists in seven Premier League starts, and has scored one goal in three UEFA Champions League matches for the Reds this season.
