The former team-mates were both part of PSV's strikeforce when they were much younger, although they only played together a few times.

Ronaldo actually scored 30+ goals in his first season in the Dutch league, after just turning 17!

And Eidur claims that, when fully fit, there is no better player in the world.

"I think you have to be excited about someone like Ronaldo, even just being linked with the club," the Iceland forward remarked.

"I only sort of played because he was injured. I was only young, I was 17.

"And we played a couple of games; we were actually on the pitch together.

"I can't really say he is probably the best player that I had a pleasure of training with every day. As a partner Jimmy has probably been the best.

"Well, me and Jimmy is natural. I think we hit it off so well that people expect every time we are on the pitch together, they expect us to produce something which is positive because that is the standard we set ourselves.

"I think, there were already signs of how well we could play together in our first season. Towards the end we played a lot of games and we seemed to hit it off very well.

"And then obviously we took that to the season after, which is probably the best season that we had as a partnership together."
