Lampard hailed by Redknapp: The best young players will want to join Chelsea now

The former Tottenham boss has not been surprised by the impact made by the Blues manager and explains how he was also a role model in his playing days

Harry Redknapp thinks that Chelsea will now be able to attract the best young talent in football after Frank Lampard's implementation of a youth-first policy at Stamford Bridge.

The likes of Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount and Fikayo Tomori have been first-team regulars under Lampard and have impressed as the Blues find themselves in third place in the Premier League table.

Chelsea have also given debuts to Reece James, Billy Gilmour, Tino Anjorin, Marc Guehi and Ian Maatsen this season, and Redknapp believes that approach of promoting youth will mean other young stars of the future will want to join the club.
