“He has everything. He plays in the Chelsea team consistently, he seems to be one of Gareth’s favourites,” said Cole on Sky Sports.
“He brings a lot of work ethic, desire – not just that, but now he brings quality on the ball.
“He’s willing to break lines without the ball and he connects the game well. He’s a fantastic player and for me, one of the best young midfielders in England right now.
“He’s got that ability to connect the midfield to a front three but he can play off either side of the wings because he has that game intelligence to come inside, pick up little pockets and little areas that he can’t mark. He can also finish when needed.”
