Chelsea legend Frank Lampard says Leicester City winning the title will be great for the Premier League.
Lampard has been hugely impressed at the way his former boss has steered the Foxes to the top of the Premier League – especially as everyone has been writing them off and waiting for the “inevitable" blip.
The New York City FC star told the Sunday Mirror: “They are on the brink of something special. Even if they don't win the league, but get in the Champions League, that's an incredible achievement in itself.
“It's great for the Premier League. It couldn't happen in Spain, Germany or Italy. No disrespect to Leicester, but, if he takes a team like them into the Champions League, with the players they have, he deserves incredible praise.
“He's got the best out of certain players. He's given hope to Jamie Vardy. We've all been waiting for that moment when Leicester go and it hasn't come. I'm delighted for Claudio. He deserves it for the career that he's had."
