Chelsea manager Antonio Conte could use Cesc Fabregas in the number 10 role behind new striker, Alvaro Morata.
The position was successfully filled by Eden Hazard last season, but the Belgian is out of action until September.
And Conte believes Fabregas can play a deep-lying role alongside N'Golo Kante, as well as a more attacking position.
The Italian said: "He is a really good player who can play in this position in midfield but also he could play No10."
