Sevilla ace Bacca tips Cuadrado to show Chelsea what 'he's made of'

Sevilla striker Carlos Bacca has backed his compatriot Juan Cuadrado to soon prove his worth to Chelsea.

26-year old winger Cuadrado has failed to make any impact at Stamford Bridge since his £27million move from Fiorentina in January.

The Colombian is yet to score a goal or provide an assist in 235 minutes of football for the Premier League champions but his international teammate Bacca has no doubt that he will come good.

"I know Cuadrado well as I see him in the national team," Bacca said.

"He's a great player and there's a reason Chelsea signed him - one of the best teams in the world.

"But we know that when you change leagues from Italy to England they are different leagues that have different ways of playing.

"I think that he signed for a team that has a very demanding manager and he also has to adapt to the league and the team with a squad that had already gelled.

"I think that he will very soon start to show what he's made of."
