According to Manchester United veteran Gary Neville and Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, Romeo Lavia is the player that elevates the Blues as a team.
Lavia assisted Chelsea in their 3-1 victory over Liverpool, the recent Premier League winners, at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Maresca and Neville lauded the Belgian player after Chelsea defeated the Reds.
Lavia has spent the majority of the season sidelined by injury.

Prior to Chelsea’s Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur a few weeks ago, he sustained a serious injury.
Following Chelsea’s victory over Liverpool, Maresca stated in his post-match interview: “Unfortunately, he [Lavia] has been injured for the majority of the season.”
It is evident that the team that Romeo is on is superior. He expressed his hope that we could now maintain him healthy through the end of the season.
Neville went on to say of Lavia on Sky Sports: “I really enjoy Romeo Lavia.
“He must remain in shape. He has the potential to be Enzo Maresca’s best midfield player if he can play for a season.
“He is a go-to player who has a significant impact; his presence improves the team.”
