Chelsea boss Lampard hails Batshuayi personality and attitude

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is delighted with the attitude of Michy Batshuayi.

If he features at Watford at any point today, the 26-year-old will looking to maintain his excellent record against them, with four goals scored in three league games.

"It was interesting to see not just the player - I kind of knew the quality Michy had and it's always good to see that up close - but also the personality," Lampard explained.

"Since early season, how he's trained, his demeanour, his positivity, and quality when he's come on, which is obviously the most important thing, have been top class.

"When Tammy is scoring regular goals and getting a firm foot in the team, that's not easy. It's the same for Oli [Giroud]. Michy has shown all the right ways of handling that. He has been very good for us so far, and that positive spirit when you're not playing regularly is not just important for him, cause that's tough sometimes, but it's important for the group. He deserves extra praise for that."
