Former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas is full of praise for a Tottenham star.

Fabregas may not have been very complimentary about Spurs in his playing days.

However, he was happy to lavish praise on James Maddison, who was an unused substitute in England's 1-0 loss to Brazil at the weekend.

"Straight away you could feel he's got the confidence," he said on a BBC podcast.

"He's got the personality to demand the ball, to make things happen and to create situations. He's good at dribbling, he is good at assisting and he can score goals. So he's a really complete player in my opinion.

"He has a good understanding with Son and the strikers and for me he's a fantastic player to have.

“And as a coach I'm sure that you need to adapt to the strengths of your players and the better quality they have, the easier it is. And definitely he is one of them you would always want in your team."
