Frank Lampard made Charlie Holland’s day as the Chelsea under-14 captain was called up to first-team action.
The youngster was pictured alongside superstars like Joao Felix, Thiago Silva and Raheem Sterling at the Blues’ Cobham training ground. Holland must have been pinching himself as he trained with £88million arrivals such as Mykhailo Mudryk.
Lampard is renowned for placing his faith in youth, having overseen Mason Mount, Reece James and Tammy Abraham’s development at Chelsea. Ahead of the Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest, the Blues legend rewarded the youth skipper by giving him a flavour of the first team.
