Nairobi — World Marathon record holder and the only man to run the 42km distance in under two hours, Eliud Kipchoge, says he will continue supporting Tottenham Hotspur despite Kenya captain Victor Wanyama's departure.

Kipchoge at the same time also believes Juventus and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo is the best footballer on earth.

While responding to a question on whether age matters to an athlete during a Webinar organized by the National Olympics Committee of Kenya (NOCK) on Thursday evening, Kipchoge said he believes Cristiano is the best player because of his work ethic.

There is still a 19-year old kid in Juventus who cannot match Ronaldo even with his age," Kipchoge further stated.

Meanwhile the London Marathon champion says he will continue supporting Tottenham Hotspur even after Wanyama left to join Canadian outfit Montreal Impact in February.
