The Premier League is home to some remarkably strong footballers.
Indeed, Adama Traore is one of the strongest players around, Virgil van Dijk is a man mountain, while William Saliba is no pushover either.
Speaking to Sports Direct, Morgan Rogers has been building what he deems to be the ‘perfect’ footballer made up of a number of key attributes, and he made an interesting claim when asked to name who he believes to be the strongest player out there right now.
According to Rogers, one of West Ham’s players is the strongest footballer in the world right now, and it may not be the player you have in mind.

Morgan Rogers names Mohammed Kudus as the strongest player around
West Ham have some seriously strong players in their squad, Tomas Soucek is dominant in the midfield, while Jean-Clair Todibo isn’t easy to bully at the back.
However, according to Rogers, Mohammed Kudus is the strongest player in world football right now.
Rogers picked the £40m man for his strength when building the perfect player.
Interestingly, Kudus and Rogers have played against one another four times, and Rogers has never been on the losing side.

Morgan Rogers’ perfect player
Rogers picked Kudus for his strength, and he made a few other interesting claims when building his perfect footballer.
The Aston Villa star selected some intriguing names when building his perfect player, and, as you can imagine, largely, his picks were Premier League-centric.
Interestingly, Rogers picked another West Ham player here, as he chose James Ward-Prowse for his shooting ability.

John McGinn also received a shout for his wand of a left foot, while Kevin De Bruyne was a logical pick for his right foot.
Kylian Mbappe was the only non-Premier League player in here as Rogers picked the Frenchman for his electric pace.
Rogers himself is a top player, hence why he’s been linked to some massive clubs, and he certainly knows his stuff when talking about top-level football, as his perfect player build shows.
