Published on: 06 March 2017

Frank Lampard has named the best goalscorer he played with during his illustrious career at the top of the Premier League.


The Chelsea legend recently retired after a short spell in the MLS with New York City, and has played with some of the Premier League's most esteemed players.


But it was his spell at Manchester City which he claimed presented the opportunity to play with one of the world's best goalscorers.

"I was fortunate enough to play with great players," he said onMonday Night Football. "Didier Drogba I always rave about. He was an all-round striker and gave you everything.


"But in terms of an out-and-out goalscorer, Aguero is the best I played with. He can be quiet for much of the game and then he'll score the winning goal. He's lethal around the box and sharp."


Asked to name the most technically gifted teammate, he opted for Eden Hazard."I think with Eden Hazard he has the edge," Lampard added."He can do anything at top speed and we've seen that tonight (against West Ham.He's at the top of the tree, in terms of ability on the ball and awareness and skill.

"Di Canio was probably the first one I played with who had that ability. Gianfranco Zola, one of the best I played with. Great awareness, great skill.


"He's a world-class player and I want to see him kick on and do it regularly as he's doing this year in years to come. I think he'll be seen as one of the best players in the world."


Hazard was indeed the standout performer as Chelsea extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to ten points with a 2-1 win at West Ham.
