"He has got a bit of finesse, Bergkamp, Van Persie about him, and they weren't bad at all," Walcott told BBC Sport.

"He has grown into his own at Chelsea and he is the main man. You can't leave him out of any team, and I am talking about England too.

"He is so gifted, he will have that awe around him so that players are afraid of him. If he continues like this, he going to be a legend of the Premier League."
