Lampard has been in superb form for both England and Chelsea this season.

The midfielder scored a brilliant goal in the friendly against Croatia and impressed in the match against Denmark.

Lampard has matured into a fine example of the modern midfield player since his move from West Ham and has established himself as a regular in the Chelsea team despite intense competition for places.

He is defensively aware but also has the ability to burst forward from midfield and scores more than his fair share of spectacular goals.
