Real Madrid star Toni Kroos has revealed who he thinks is the best English midfielder in recent times.
The 27-year-old, who scored at the weekend in Los Blancos' 5-0 win over Sevilla, was asked by a follower on Twitter who was the better out of Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Paul Scholes.
Kroos is arguably the current best midfielder in the world himself, having been named in Fifa's Best Team of the Year earlier this year, and he didn't hesitate with his answer.

"Being a top midfielder, who's the best out of Gerrard, Lampard and Scholes?" Jurgen asked.
Kroos simply responded with: "Paul Scholes."

The German was heavily linked with a move to Manchester United prior to his Real Madrid transfer.
However, Louis van Gaal pulled the plug on Kroos and the midfielder decided to move to the Santiago Bernabeu instead.
