Middlesbrough captain George Boateng says Liverpool youngster Ryan Babel has the ability to be the Premiership's 'new Thierry Henry'.
"He has the body, speed and pace - everything he needs to develop his game. He is also a great lad with a really good attitude and is very down to earth.
"From the first day I trained with him in the Holland camp a few years ago, I knew this boy was really something. Liverpool have a golden player on their hands.
"Rafa Benitez knows it takes time for a player to settle in a new country. Babel's best times are yet to come."
