Chelsea boss Ancelotti expects big things from Fabian Borini

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti rates young Italian striker Fabian Borini highly.

Before this evening's match against Porto, Ancelotti endorsed Chelsea's youth set-up.

"There is potential," he said. "But we have to take our time because they're very young players. They have very good quality. There are 17-year-olds who are very, very good. We have to stay working very closely with them. I think that the next period, we can put some of them in the first-team, players from the academy. I'm sure of that. Also, there's a young Italian who's very good though I don't want to say the name.."

That player is understood to be Borini.
