Chelsea legend Frank Lampard admits he's a fan of Brighton.

Lampard has been impressed by the Seagulls' journey to the Premier League this season.

He told Brighton's website: “I'm hugely impressed with everything here and so much credit goes to the owner, who's really invested well in a club that's very close to his heart, and that's a fantastic story in itself.

“I was here for the first game against Manchester City, and there was a great atmosphere at the stadium. The club has a brilliant training facility too, which bodes well; it's not a short-term thing, it's a long-term vision.

“I'm well aware of the story of how the fans dug in to save the club many years ago, and it's a great story.

“This is a club I have a great feeling for and I hope they manage to be successful, stay up and keep moving in the right direction."
