"There is no difference between Shikabala, Messi, Ronaldo and Rooney," Metsu was quoted as saying on Emirates newspaper Al-Bayan on Friday. "Shikabala is a magician as he has a superb fitness and tricks, he can make the difference with Al-Wasl next season," he added. The 26-year-old, Shikabala has attracted the attention of his new team Al-Wasl boss following an impressive performance in the 2-2 draw to Oman side Al-Shabab in a friendly on Thursday. "Shikabala deserves the African best player title," the French coach said. "He is better than Senegal star El Hadji Diouf, the player who I scouted in season 2000," "I demand Al-Wasl management to sign two players like Shikabala," Metsu concluded. The former Zamalek's controversial attacker joined United Arab Emirates' side Al-Wasl on a one-year loan worth $1.25 million effective from the start of next season.
