Chelsea stars Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Thiago Silva have agreed in their assessment of AC Milan forward Rafael Leao.
Leao has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in recent months with the Portuguese winger's current deal at San Siro set to expire in 2024. The 23-year-old has already registered 11 goal contributions in 10 appearances so far this season after enjoying a brilliant campaign with the Italian giants last term and helping Milan win the Serie A title.
Leao was full of praise for his potential future teammate Reece James after the Blues ran out 3-0 winners in the crucial Champions League match on Wednesday evening. Former Chelsea star Joe Cole raised issues over the 23-year-old's attitude after the game, something which could possibly hinder Leao's chances of a future transfer to Stamford Bridge.
