Now the statistics back it up - Cristiano Ronaldo is currently the best player in the Premiership.

The Portuguese winger is ranked in first place in Actim Index's player ratings system.

Ronaldo has been in sensational form this season, prompting assistant manager Carlos Queiroz to comment this week: "Cristiano was born to be the best in the world."

The 21-year-old is the club's top scorer with 13 goals, just one behind Premiership leading scorer, Didier Drogba. Actim Index, the league’s official statisticians, rank Ronaldo above the Chelsea striker in their ratings system, which awards points for a positive impact on matches.

His figures are impressive. Actim Stats show that this season he has contributed 61 shots on target, 38 tackles, five clearances, seven interceptions, one block, 87 dribbles, 59 crosses and 461 passes in 1,970 minutes of football.

His first-place ranking follows several awards in recognition of his excellent form. He has already earned two Premiership Player of the Month awards this season and was recently given the title of Portugal’s Sportsman of the Year for 2006 ahead of Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.
