Deeney was full of praise for Man Utd youngster Amad after his memorable late winner against City, saying: “It’s been really difficult to pick the forwards this week but Amad Diallo is the only one who is a no-brainer. He was excellent, flipped the Manchester derby on its head. As a young man he just seems to be growing better and better.
“All that noise around Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford, Diallo just seems to be going about his business and delivering on a regular basis, and that’s what it’s all about.”

Deeney also singled out Newcastle United front-man Alexander Isak for showing his qualities again, making it clear he sees the in-form Sweden international as the perfect signing for Arsenal.
He said: “The best striker in the Premier League at this moment in time. Yes I’ve said it and yes I stand by it. He’s the complete striker. Unreal. Every time I watch him I keep thinking, how haven’t Arsenal signed him?
“He’s a really good player and finisher. He’s a poacher but he’s also such a silky player. You don’t see many silky poachers.”
