Chelsea legend Frank Lampard has revealed the best striker he has ever played with during his playing years.

Lampard was one of Chelsea’s best players during his playing days, winning several trophies for the Blues.

The midfielder is Chelsea’s highest goalscorer in history, having played 648 games, scored 211 and provided 148.

The former Chelsea manager who has played alongside different strikers in his career has surprisingly ignored Didier Drogba and picked the best striker he has played with.

Lampard spent the majority of his career being a key member of Chelsea, so he had the opportunity to play with many excellent strikers, including strikers like Drogba, Torres and many more.

The England legend also played for Manchester City in his final years and featured alongside Sergio Aguero in the team.

Lampard claimed to have played with the best striker of all time at City during a recent interview, ignoring Drogba, with whom he played most of his career with.

According to Give Me Sport, Lampard said, Oh, [he is] right at the top, for me I think. I have been fortunate enough to play with great players, Didier Drogba was one I always raved about as an all-round striker, as he gave you everything. 

“But in terms [of being] an out-and-out goalscorer and finisher, Aguero is the best I have played with.

“He can be quiet for a lot of the game, but then score a winning goal, with any type of goal as well around the box.

“He is lethal, he is sharp and he’s a very confident lad. He has a certain demeanour in the way he plays and the way he trains.”

Meanwhile, Lampard was one of the top players with the most Premier League goals after turning 30.
