A former Blue believes the England international is capable of following in his manager's footsteps at Stamford Bridge
Chelsea's Ross Barkley has been described as a "top, top player" by Joe Cole, who thinks the midfielder can help drive the club towards silverware in the same way Frank Lampard did in his heyday.
After overcoming a slow start to the 2019-20 campaign amid injury issues, Barkley has emerged as a key figure in the Blues' starting line-up as they chase down a top-four finish in the Premier League.
The 26-year-old featured in seven of Chelsea's last eight games before the season was called to a temporary halt due to the coronavirus outbreak, with his most impressive display coming in a 2-0 FA Cup fifth-round win over Liverpool on March 3.
