Chelsea great Frank Lampard admits he's a fan of Conor Gallagher.

Lampard worked with the midfielder last season as Chelsea caretaker manager.

On Sky Sports, Lampard said of the England international: "He is an amazing character and big talent scoring goals from midfield.

"As a manager you see things that those on the outside of the club don't and when you talk about players wanting to train at a level every day.

"Sometimes you pick a team and people say why do you keep playing Conor Gallagher?

"Because of his desire to play for the club, the desire to raise standards and train hard.

"When I went back to the club he trained every day like he really wanted to show something. Being part-time captain gives him a chance to really kick on with his Chelsea career."
