Chelsea interim manager Frank Lampard has raved about Benoit Badiashile after the match against Bournemouth.

Lampard has told Football.London that everyone could see against Bournemouth that Chelsea have a big talent in Badiashile.

Chelsea got the better of Bournemouth 3-1 away from home in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

The 22-year-old France international defender scored for the Blues in the 82nd minute.

Badiashile has made nine starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for Chelsea.

The youngster has scored one goal in those games.

The Frenchman moved to Chelsea from AS Monaco in the January transfer window.

According to Sky Sports, the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners paid £35 million in transfer fees for Badiashile.

Badiashile had a really good game for Chelsea against Bournemouth.

The 22-year-old did well against Dominic Solanke in the air, was calm and composed on the ball, and was very assured at the back.

Frank Lampard on Chelsea defender Benoit Badiashile

Lampard said: “We all saw Benoit today, it’s pretty clear he’s got a big talent.”

Promising

In our view, Benoit Badiashile is a big talent, and Chelsea fans will get to see his best in the coming years.

The defender has been at the Blues for a few months now, and we are yet to see how good he can be.

And let us not forget that Benoit Badiashile is only 22.

Under a new and permanent manager next season, Badiashile could really flourish at Chelsea and become a big figure for the team.
