Chelsea boss Frank Lampard wants Tammy Abraham to become big-game player like Didier Drogba

Daily Mail  

There is a palpable buzz around Chelsea's academy at present. Frank Lampard says he is not surprised how well Tammy Abraham has started the season Many were tipped to make to walk across the beautifully manicured footpaths from the academy to the first team headquarters, a literal pathway of around 30 yards at Cobham but seemingly, at times, a million miles apart. In-between was the hat-trick from Tammy Abraham, meaning all of Chelsea's Premier League goals have been scored by academy graduates this season. Lampard would like to see Abraham develop into a big-game player like Didier Drogba was Yet whilst the hard work has been done by academy staff, there is no doubt that the lead from the most important coach at the club is crucial. Still, for now, Chelsea, a club synonymous with being at the forefront of embracing the early wave of expensive imports into the Premier League and an organisation which has epitomised the globalisation of the English game, is going back to its roots, And if they start a match this season, as seems likely, with Tomori, James, Loftus-Cheek, Mount, Hudson-Odoi and Abraham, then more than half their team will be home grown and the plaudits well deserved.
