"In terms of the best player in the world, I don't know if I should be the one to decide that. I think the sky's the limit for him. I don't know if he has a ceiling. I don't know what his ceiling is.

"But I feel like the form that he's showing now is incredible. And I just hope he can continue that. Me and Cole have a great relationship off the pitch and on the pitch as well. So it's always fun playing with him, I get to play with him every week."

Madueke added: "It would be fun if we can get to play with each other for England, definitely. Cole's a very unique player. A type of player that doesn't feel pressure, in the most pressurised situations. I admire that about him.

"He's a great footballer. And I'm sure he's going to produce for England, just as he does for Chelsea. It's just his demeanour really, he's just relaxed. He's just as relaxed off the pitch as he is on the pitch. That’s just him. Some people are just like that.

"I'm not saying that Cole's not zoned in when he's on the pitch, but I feel that Cole's just unique in that sense, where he can just go on the pitch, play the game, have fun, play the game to enjoy it, and he'll produce anyway. That's just him."
