Chelsea Frank Lampard announced his decision to hang up his boots last month and Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek has admitted he’s grateful to have had the chance to work with Lampard.

“When he was here, I was lucky enough to train with the first team quite a few times so I watched him closely because we played in the same position,” Loftus-Cheek told Chelsea official website.

“He’s a massive icon for English football and it was brilliant to be able to learn from him.”
