Tammy Abraham drew comparisons to Chelsea legend Didier Drogba after adding to his tally once again on Wednesday in the Champions League.
'First half, one ball went up to him, Didier Drogba-esque, chests it down for someone, runs on for the next phase – I think he's developing nicely.
'He's scoring goals, he's scoring different types of goals and I think he's a threat.'
Ferdinand added: 'What I love about him is that everyone thought Solanke was better and he's had to go out on loan and he's showed people that he's made of the right stuff.
'He's got the character and nous to see a situation and take that, he's doing that game by game.'
Joe Cole also sung the praises of Abraham, who spent last season on loan at Aston Villa - helping them earn promotion back to the Premier League.
Cole, who featured for Chelsea between the years of 2003-10 where he won three Premier League titles, claims the striker will continue to develop into a top striker.
Cole added: 'He'll keep improving and he'll keep getting chances and will put them away.'

I see more of Adebayo in him than Drogba..He's a good goal scorer. He has proven himself in Cardiff and Aston Villa.
