Cesc Fabregas has given Chelsea’s £35million signing of Benoit Badiashile his seal of approval.
France defender Badiashile has completed a switch to Stamford Bridge from Monaco - where he was a former teammate of the Spaniard.
The 21-year-old has inked a seven-and-a-half-year deal in west London, the Premier League club have confirmed, having made over 100 appearances in Ligue 1 for the Principality side. He has also played in the Champions League and been capped twice by Les Bleus making his debut for Didier Deschamps’ side in a 2-1 win against Austria last September.
