Lampard said, as reported by Echo, “When I first got into the club and you’re trying to assess players really quickly, and Alex in training – quiet lad, really decent lad, low maintenance – I saw him in training and went ‘wow, this child can run.
“Alex is constantly moving, and the second ball nature of our game and how crucial that is.
He also has another trait that is incredibly underappreciated. He graduated from an excellent academy at Arsenal, exhibiting those types of passes and awareness.
When I first arrived, Alex played as a winger. Later, he was forced to play in midfield because of a need. Let’s see whether he can play in midfield; he has tons of energy and good ball handling skills. He has the skill on the ball the moment he enters there for us.
