Andres Iniesta has poured a bucket of praise on international team-mate Jesus Navas and explained the winger is a similar player to Tottenham Hotspur sensation Gareth Bale.
Navas will play against Bale in the English Premier League next season, having joined Manchester City from Sevilla this summer.
And Iniesta, who knows Navas’ talents first hand from clashes in La Liga and playing together for Spain, feels the Citizens have bagged quite a star.
"Navas is a very special player", the Barcelona schemer was quoted as saying by Voetbal Primeur.

"He will pose Premier League defenders many problems when he plays for City.
"Jesus is so incredibly quick and his footwork is exceptional, so it is almost impossible to stop him without fouling him.
"The only player who has been playing in England that I can compare Jesus to is Gareth Bale."
Navas has shone this summer at the Confederations Cup with Spain and will be hopeful of taking that form into the new campaign at the Etihad Stadium under new Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini.
