Former Chelsea player: Ganancho, who is in good shape, is top in Europe and Esteban should start

Former Chelsea midfielder Steve Sidwell recently accepted an interview with TNT Sports and talked about Ganaccio and Esteban.

Sidwell said: "Ganacho's goal was so exciting. What Chelsea fans want to see most is that he can create a threat in the offensive third. He definitely has top talent. This is a super shot."

"Chelsea fans are eager to see the real Ganaccio because he is indeed talented. The goal just now is proof of that. Obviously, we need to see him contribute more performances like this in the Blues jersey. As long as he is in good condition, he is undoubtedly one of the top players in Europe."

So far this season, Pedro Neto has been the main candidate under Maresca, but Sidwell believes that Esteban should surpass his teammate to get the starting spot.

He said: "We discuss this player every week, and he is fully worthy of the starting position. He can change the situation immediately when he comes on the field, is always a reliable offensive point, and also has excellent skills. His performance has always been outstanding, and he has shown an amazing level at such a young age. His talent is really outstanding. His activities near the penalty area are pleasing to the eye. He always tries to create opportunities and never chooses to deal with it conservatively. At a young age, he has a football intelligence beyond his years."
