Frank Onyeka, a midfielder for the Super Eagles, recently revealed that Manchester City and Arsenal were the two toughest Premier League clubs he faced. Onyeka joined Brentford from FC Midtjylland two summers ago for €10million and has proven to be a consistent performer.
While he has had spells where he has struggled to get playtime, he has made 41 Premier League appearances for Brentford since joining the club. Last season, Brentford finished 13th, but this season, they secured a 9th-place finish.
Onyeka has revealed that last season, Manchester City was the toughest opposition he faced.
He acknowledges that the Premier League is fast-paced, and the players are better and stronger than those in the Danish league. Nonetheless, he also believes that the Danish league is also good, strong, and physical.
“It’s the Premier League, every team is hard to play against, but Arsenal and Manchester City, in particular, are the toughest teams; they make you run all through,”
“The Premier League is different in a lot of ways from the Danish League. English football is fast, the pitch and the players are better and stronger.
“But, don’t get me wrong. The Danish league is also good, strong, and physical.” Says Onyeka.
