Former Italy midfielder Stefano Eranio has been won over by AC Milan midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.

The France international is on-loan at Milan from Chelsea and is now producing some of the best form of his career.

Eranio enthused: "At first with Bakayoko, I did not understand how strong he was, but he's a machine, he has great physicality, technically he's not naive, he's finding a fundamental position.

"(Lucas) Paquetà is a European player, he can become among the best midfielders even in the containment phase, then he goes to hurt his opponent, his personality is this and he is really surprising me."
