As far as Chelsea legends go, there are few who compare to Frank Lampard, although his former teammate Shaun Wright-Phillips would actually rank two other former Blues ahead of him.
No player in the club’s history has scored more goals than Lampard, a particularly impressive feat when taking into account he did it from midfield.
Enzo Fernandez has been compared to Lampard of late due to his influx of goals, but doing this on a regular basis will be the true measuring stick for the current side.

Shaun Wright-Phillips rates John Terry and Eden Hazard ahead of Frank Lampard
The midfielder is seen as one of the icons of Chelsea history alongside John Terry, and Wright-Phillips has named the centre-back as a better player for the club than Lampard.
In a TikTok with the PFA, he also selected Eden Hazard above the midfielder as he ranked the Blues to have won the PFA Player of the Year award in the past.

Hazard is seen by many as the best player to feature for the club in the 2010s, and is often the measuring stick when it comes to wingers at the club.
The current options to play on the left for Chelsea, Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens, have struggled to hit the ground running at Stamford Bridge, only enhancing the Belgian’s image in hindsight.
In terms of the current Chelsea side though, the club legend they would welcome the most in their current side is Terry at centre-back.
The Blues have been desperately lacking quality without Levi Colwill at the back, and are missing an experienced figure to lead them through tough moments.
Chelsea’s most experienced outfield player is Tosin Adarabioyo, however he has struggled for form this season and was a particular weak point in their recent scare against Wrexham.
