Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has admitted his admiration for Everton midfielder Jack Rodwell.
Rodwell has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in the past with reports that a £16m bid had been turned down last year.
And Ancelotti will have caused concern in the Goodison Park boardroom with his comment yesterday, in which he talked of his praise for the 19-year-old.
"Rodwell of Everton is a good player," said the Chelsea manager, who is aware that his squad contains players nearer the end than the beginning of their careers.
