He's already sung the praises of half the team this season, so it was inevitable that Marcel would offer his opinion of Chelsea's "young lion".

And after Cole scored a game winning goal for the second wek running, Marcel has urged Sven to go with Cole.

Desailly said, "He will be an international, I'm sure, because for me, if he gets his chance, he is a better player than [Emile] Heskey.

"Like I have said often about John Terry, Carlton is for the present and the future as well.

"He is another of the young players here proving he knows how to take his chance.''

Perhaps he could help rejuvinate Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's flagging season by giving him a few shooting tips! Only kidding Jimbo- we still love you!!
