‘I think he can play anywhere in midfield and not have a problem,’ said Fabregas. ‘He can play as a defensive midfielder, a number six, he can play as a number eight.

‘In a few years’ time, I even believe he can become a good number 10 because he has the power to get into the box. His final pass needs to improve a little bit but he’s so young. He’s determined to learn and from what I can see and the will that he has, he has a bright future in front of him.’
