Frank Lampard has showered heaps of praise on Patrick Bamford ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League clash against Leeds United on Saturday at Stamford Bridge.
Bamford joined the Blues in 2012 from Nottingham Forest and spent five seasons at the London club. However, he didn’t make any single appearance for Chelsea and spent loan spells at six different clubs during that time.
Lampard has said that Bamford had ‘great finishing ability’ in those early stages at Chelsea.
The Blues boss suggests that Bamford didn’t make the cut in the star-studded Chelsea squad due to the fierce competition at the club.
