AC Milan great Marcel Desailly has told fans to "calm down" amid claims of Rafael Leao being similar to French great Thierry Henry.

Indeed, Desailly insists Leao hasn't done anything in his career to suggest such comparisons.

He told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "Calm down, this is about Henry.

"It seems to me that Leao became a star even before he became a star. He has enormous potential but does not give me the impression of being ruthless.

"Thierry and Zizou wanted to be the best. I ask Leao to forge his character: at the moment there is no comparison."
