"I love him," Rio Ferdinand said on BT Sport about Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
"I’ve always known about him from friends at Chelsea.
"He’s a fantastic specimen, first and foremost. I liken him, in full flow, to someone like Yaya Toure.
"He can intimidate players. When he turns and goes full pelt, it’s unplayable at times. As a centre back, that’s one of your biggest fears.
"He’s a fantastic talent. He’s as comfortable in the wide areas of a front three as he is in front of the defence. You don’t get that with many players. The strings he has to his bow are beautiful.
"The thing with him is that his body has been his biggest problem. It's always gone against him. He's got into the team and got his chance and all of sudden his body has broken down.
"He looks the fittest I've ever seen him in a Chelsea shirt and the opportunities come again and he's taken it.
"The name associated with him at the moment, Yaya Toure, if he adds goals to his games you can start talking like that.
"You can see the similarities, the power, the speed of thought, the quick feet. I just feel he could add that impact if he adds goals."
Frankly, it's a massive compliment for Loftus-Cheek to compare with one of the best Premier League midfielders of the last decade who won three league titles and once scored 24 goals in one season.
