Chelsea interim manager Frank Lampard has backed Chelsea teenager Lewis Hall to make it at Chelsea under incoming Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino.

The 18-year-old started for the second match in a row as Chelsea suffered 1-0 defeat to newly crowned Premier League champions Manchester City.

“I thought Lewis did really well,” said Lampard.

“I know he played well at City earlier in the year and I think against Mahrez, one of the best wingers in the league, one v one, he joined in. He gets his chance at the top end of the pitch.

“He’s a good player Lewis, he’s a good player and I thought he did really well.

“We certainly rate him. Joe and Andy, who work with me, have a better understanding of him as a lad and all those things are important as well. He’s a quiet lad, the first thing that I’ve seen, he definitely needs to come out of himself a little bit more. I’m not asking him to change his personality but in footballing terms to effect people around him.

“In terms of quality on the ball, that’s really clear. In terms of quality, if you see him with the ball and the things he can do, he’s got the levels, he’s obviously got to add to that as he goes along. Another academy one that we’ve produced and it will be good to see him in regular games at this level to be tested more but he’s shown he can do that.”
