The 23-year-old has played next to countryman Youri Tielemans in a midfield two this season.
“He is a great talent,” Lampard told Sky Sports.
“He has many qualities. Thanks to his physical abilities, he is very strong defensively and he also regularly scores a goal.
“He was very important to us at Everton, but I believe that he will continue to grow at a team like Aston Villa, with a good coach, good environment and a lot of competition.”
