Former Barcelona and Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes that AC Milan forward Rafael Leao hasn't quite unlocked his full potential yet. It comes amid links with the Portugal international and a potential switch to Chelsea in January, having missed out on a transfer back in the summer.
Leao has since continued to impress on both the club and international stage, even earning a call-up to Portugal's World Cup squad. While his nation were on the receiving end of an upset to Morocco, the winger had limited minutes, but still managed to score his first World Cup goals from the bench.
With the January transfer window around the corner and a dwindling contract, the 23-year-old could yet make the move to west London. Graham Potter hinted as such earlier this season when facing the Rossoneri in the Champions League: "You can see Leao’s quality and skills, it’s obvious. But he is part of a strong team. We have to respect that [he is under contract].”
