Frank Nouble's selfless shift for the reserves at Chelsea was reminiscent of Carlton Cole's recent performances for the first team and it appears the similarities are no coincidence.
Nouble spoke to WHUTV after the 4-1 reverse, which he had concluded with a stunning left-footed strike in added time. The 18-year-old explained that his development is being helped by England international Cole, who is always on hand for some helpful advice.
"He's a massive influence," Nouble said. "It's easy to watch him in training and to learn from him, like I did at Chelsea when I watched Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka.
"He tells me to use my power, height and speed, to use the attributes I've got and all of the rest will come along with it. All you can do is learn."
