Crystal Palace midfielder Christantus Uche has described Super Eagles defender Benjamin Fredrick as the best defender in the world.
Uche stated this after his impressive performance in Nigeria’s 4-0 thrashing of Benin in Tuesday’s final group C match of the 2026 World Cup qualifier.
The 20-year-old center-back has built a reputation for his calm composure, aerial strength, and ability to read the game, qualities that have earned him recognition as a potential long-term anchor in Nigeria’s Super Eagles defense.
Reacting via his official Instagram handle, Uche posted a picture of Fredrick, describing him as the best center-back in the world.
