In what appears a sign of Barcelona’s willingness to steal a march on other suitors and lure Ogu to Spain,
32 year old Barcelona legend, Gerard Pique, who marked his 500th appearance for the Spanish team in Sunday’s 5-1 demolition of Real Betis has showered encomiums on john Ogu in a video chat. The midfielder has even compared to Gerard's former team-mate and African footballer of the year for four times, Yaya Toure.
You’re a great guy, you’re a monster you remind me of Yaya Toure,” Pique said.
In stature and appearance maybe but I don't think John Ogu has the same mettle as the likes of Yaya Toure. Pique is just over exaggerating.
