Frank Lampard has stated that he has been quite impressed with Dominic Solanke’s professional improvement since he left Chelsea.
How should Chelsea line up against Bournemouth in case we decide to care?
He stated in his pre-match press conference that he is thrilled for the player, who came up through the Cobham academy system.
Solanke will almost probably start as a striker for Bournemouth tomorrow as the Blues try to end their South Coast losing skid.
Lampard is winless in his first six games as manager of Chelsea, having returned to the club for the second time.
The Blues are desperate to fill the striker position following another poor season in front of goal.
This season, the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Kai Havertz, and Raheem Sterling have all been highly unsuccessful, making it impossible for whoever has been in charge to trust them consistently.
Lampard lauds Solanke
They will no doubt be envious of Solanke, even though he has only scored six goals this season, although with seven assists.
Lampard has now remarked about the 25-year-old’s incredible journey.
“I remember training with him,” he remarked. A gifted individual. I frequently interact with the coaches at the academy, and they hold him in high respect. He’s still young, so it’s encouraging to watch him do so well. On an individual level, I’m happy for him since he has his roots here at the club.”

A strong performance tomorrow will go a long way toward rekindling passion among a fanbase that is already preparing for next season.
They will be expecting news soon on the club’s future permanent manager, with Mauricio Pochettino still considered the favorite.
