Ahead of Brentford clash; Lampard opens up about what he actually thinks of Enzo Fernandez; Here is what he said.
The Argentina midfielder has not been the immediate success that fans had expected.
Since his move from Benfica for a record free, Fernandez has been unable to stop his team’s slide down the Premier League table.
Asked about the all-action midfielder, Lampard told reporters; “I think he’s a fantastic talent. I think for a young player to have achieved what he has achieved in this footballing year has been amazing.
“To be part of a World Cup-winning team, to earn himself a move to the Premier League and a club like Chelsea. I agree maybe it’s a difficult moment to come to the club. He’s been at the club a few months and it’s been a difficult time, which has been a challenge for him.
“It’s a challenge that will make him better because everybody will put a lot of eyes on his performance, give him a lot of responsibility. The reality, at his age coming here, he also needs support and help and those things. Those things can take time, speaking the language for instance. I think he’s a fantastic talent and he is the future of Chelsea, one of, central to a lot of it.
“We must also give him that time to settle because will have happened to him very quickly. I really like Enzo, I’ve been very impressed.”
