Chelsea legend and Derby County manager, Frank Lampard has identified his ‘world best’ footballer
According to Lampard, Chelsea star player, Eden Hazard is his world best footballer.
The former England international, who played alongside Hazard during his time at Stamford Bridge, believes the Belgian star is the world best footballer due to his current form.
Hazard has been in stunning form so far this campaign under Blues manager, Maurizio Sarri.
The 27-year-old has scored eight goals in eleven appearances for the West London club so far.
Speaking ahead of Derby County’s clash with Chelsea in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night, Lampard told reporters at his press conference, as reported by Derbyshire Live: “On current form, I think Hazard is the world best player.
“Of course, that can change but I love watching him and he’s in his prime.”
“He is an absolutely outstanding player in world football,” Lampard added.
“Let’s hope he wants a rest!
“I think he’s scared of coming up against my team!,” he joked.
Lampard continued, “It will be a special occasion for myself, as well as Jody Morris and Chris Jones.
“I’m excited for the game and looking forward to seeing 40,000 ‘friends’ in the stadium.
“Walking out at Stamford Bridge will be very special for me.”
