Chelsea legend hails quartet

Chelsea legend Pat Nevin says the Blues have four players in their ranks that would walk into and improve any team in the world.

New signing Alvaro Morata has been brilliant since his move from Real Madrid in the summer, and he looks like one of the best strikers in the league already. Not just that, the Spaniard has made a lethal partnership with star Eden Hazard, another player Nevin believes is good enough to work his way into any team on the planet.

Midfielders N’Golo Kante and Cesc Fabregas follow the two forwards in Nevin’s statement, heaping the praise on the quartet as they continue to set the league alight.

“The burgeoning understanding between the front two of Eden and Alvaro is pretty stunning on occasions now,” Nevin said on Chelsea’s official website.

“The Spaniard’s little back-through-the-legs flick made for one of the best assists of the season. It was world class.

“The sheer number of goals and chances being created for each other is fabulous and it should be underlined that Antonio Conte must be applauded for seeing the possibilities first.

“I mean, you look at Eden last season and your first thought wouldn’t necessarily be, ‘I think he could do better playing in a different role, I better move him infield’.

“It is a partnership that will continue to improve but then by crowbarring Cesc into the side, he is also perfectly capable of building just as good an understanding with both of the strikers in terms of creation.

“It is quite a turnaround in a short time and of course we know there are a variety of reasons.

“Eden, Cesc, Alvaro and N’Golo Kante all fully fit and available together would improve any team on the planet.”
