Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp has heaped praise on Chelsea star Romeo Lavia as the 20-year-old continues to impress at Stamford Bridge throughout the opening phase of the 2024\/25 campaign.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The midfielder arrived in West London last summer as the Blues completed a \u00a358m deal<\/a> to bring the youngster from Southampton, however, things did not go to plan for the Belgian as the Chelsea player spent most of the season on the sidelines due to injury.<\/p>\n

Lavia played just 32 minutes for the Premier League giants but that set the midfielder up for a big comeback this term<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Enzo Maresca has trusted the 20-year-old to partner Moises Caicedo in his double-pivot and the former Southampton star has thrived in the role \u2013 which has caught the attention of Barcelona<\/a>. The duo have become one of the best midfield partnerships in the Premier League in recent weeks and it has forced Enzo Fernandez to accept a place on the Blues\u2019 bench.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the Maresca\u2019s team facing Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp was full of praise for Lavia and tipped the Belgian star to be a problem for the Gunners.<\/p>\n

Speaking about Lavia and his partnership with Caicedo, Redknapp stated that the 20-year-old has \u201cdone ever so well\u201d upon his return from injury and was that there is a \u201cnice balance\u201d in the Chelsea midfield.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has done ever so well, he\u2019s good on the ball, he\u2019s comfortable,\u201d the pundit said on Sky Sports<\/a>. \u201cIt must be a joy to play alongside someone like Caicedo.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have got a nice balance, great energy, they win the ball back, it will be hard to play against.\u201d<\/p>\n

The duo are expected to play a key role in Maresca\u2019s plans to stop Arsenal on Sunday as the Blues search for a win over their London rivals.<\/p>\n
