'There is no better guy to play under' - Abraham hails Lampard ahead of rumoured Chelsea return

The England Under-21 forward's first-team opportunities at Stamford Bridge have been limited with only three appearances to his name

Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham believes there ‘is no better guy to play under’ than Frank Lampard amidst rumours that the Derby County boss is set to become the new Blues manager.

The club’s all-time top-scorer has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge to fill the vacancy left by Maurizio Sarri, who departed last week to join Serie A champions Juventus.

Lampard took Derby to the Championship play-off final last season before losing in the final to Abraham’s loan club Aston Villa, and the striker has welcomed his potential return.
