A show of hands of who's heard Peter Crouch's name heard alongside that of a certain Zlatan Ibrahimovic in footballing terms. 

Exactly. 

But that's what one of Crouch's former Tottenham Hotspur team-mates has done. 

Yannick Kamanan has showered praise on the lanky Stoke City striker, putting him in his prime alongside Paris Saint-Germain star Ibrahimovic. 

"Peter, contrary to what people think, isn't just a player who can head the ball," Kamanan told SoFoot, h/t Metro. "He's actually very, very technical. 

"When you talk about a combination of size and ball control, for me, there's only Zlatan who's better than him."
