Swansea City boss Garry Monk is full of praise for Everton midfielder Ross Barkley.
Everton have won both Barclays Premier League games Barkley has been involved in since the 20-year-old England talent missed the first two months of the season with a knee injury.
"Barkley is a top player, a real talent," Swansea manager Monk said.
"He plays with no fear and he is a big factor for them.
"They missed him when he was out. Since he's come back he's done well and, if he stays fit, he will only get better.
"He is right up there as a young English talent. I know he has been likened to quite a few players and ability-wise and talent-wise he is showing that week in, week out.
"He's only just come back from his injury so whether he is at his full best right now I don't know, but he is right up there.
"Roberto will give him the freedom to express himself, but he can attack and defend and he is an all-rounder."
