Signed from Monaco in the summer, Frenchman Tiemoue Bakayoko is beginning to settle in the heart of Chelsea's midfield.
The 23-year-old - who was injured at the beginning of the campaign - was signed as Nemanja Matic's replacement after a superb season in France.
Despite breaking into Antonio Conte's first team, some pundits have been far from impressed with the £39m arrival.
Arsenal legend Ian Wright believes Ruben Loftus-Cheek - who is currently out on loan at Crystal Palace - is a better player than Bakayoko.
"I watched Bakayoko the other day up front or playing further forward against Manchester United and he never done anything in that game that made me think that he’s a better player than Loftus-Cheek," Wright said on ITV.
"Now I’m not knocking Chelsea because Chelsea can do whatever they want but the fact is that surely you’ve got to give the guy a chance. I’ve seen him and he’s better than Bakayoko for me."
