Chelsea defender, Marc Cucurella has hailed Nigerian forward Christantus Uche, describing him as one of LaLiga’s best.

The Spain international said this while speaking on the growing disparity between the Premier League and the LaLiga, pointing to Uche’s arrival to the English top-flight league.

Recall that Uche recently left LaLiga side Gatefe to join Premier League club Crystal Palace on loan on transfer deadline day.

However, Cucurella, who played for Getafe in the past before moving to the Premier League, told AS: “The distribution of money in England is evener.

“For example, the teams that get promoted get a lot of money, and in the end, that allows all teams to sign great players, and that evens out the league.

“That is why every game in the Premier League is a battle. Sunderland, who just got promoted, has invested two hundred million in players, and Crystal Palace has signed two of the best in La Liga, Yeremy and Uche.

“That is something they should fix, because La Liga is falling behind the Premier League, and that is driving players to England to play.”
