Danilo could find Chelsea is his place to shine under Antonio Conte... rather than living in the shadow of Dani Carvajal at Real Madrid

The jury is still out on Danilo at Real Madrid and the chances are he will be sold before they ever return their verdict.

Good going forward but not yet as good as the great Brazilian attacking full-backs, and good defensively but not as good as the best defensive full-backs in Europe, is the conclusion most supporters have drawn after his two seasons at the club.

Before the alarm bells start ringing it should be remembered that Danilo has one major disadvantage at Real Madrid. Every performance he puts in, is compared to Dani Carvajal's last game, and most No 2s in the world would come out second best to Spain's first choice right-back.
