Cesc Fabregas says AS Monaco teammate Aurelien Tchouameni has huge potential amid interest from former club Chelsea.

Fabregas knows all about what it takes to succeed as a midfielder with the Blues, having won two Premier League titles in his five seasons with the club, and is now a team-mate of Tchouameni's at Monaco.

"I think he can play anywhere in midfield and not have a problem," said Fabregas. "He can play as a defensive midfielder, a number six, he can play as a number eight.

"In a few years' time, I even believe he can become a good number 10 because he has the power to get into the box. His final pass needs to improve a little bit but he's so young.

"He's determined to learn and from what I can see and the will that he has, he has a bright future in front of him."
