Everton youngster Rodwell studying game of Lampard

Everton youngster Jack Rodwell admits he's studying the game of Chelsea star Frank Lampard.

Some pundits believes Lampard's presence in today's FA Cup tie could be crucial to how Chelsea rise to the occasion, and as a goal scoring midfielder for club and country, Rodwell concedes he would like to emulate the Londoner.

"There is no one player in particular that I model my career on though," he says. "I've got high hopes in terms of England and like every boy it has been my childhood dream to play for England.

"The overwhelming priority is playing well for Everton though, and one thing should lead to another then.

"I'd love to play in a World Cup one day though."
