AC Milan playmaker Kaka thinks in the future he is likely to face stiff competition from Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas for football's top awards.Kaka won both the Ballon d'Or and the FIFA World Player of the Year during an excellent campaign last year, which culminated in the Brazilian winning his first Champions League crown.

The Brazilian star said: "He (Fabregas) is a great player, for the future.

"He's an amazing talent because of how he plays and how he controls how others play.

"He's always moving. He's the prototype of the modern footballer because he is aware of everything that is happening on the pitch. In some ways he reminds me of (Andrea) Pirlo."
