Chelsea legend Frank Lampard has named the best striker he has ever played with, and you might be surprised to hear that it is not another Blues legend Didier Drogba.
Lampard has a decorative career at the highest level and was a regular and an important player for both Chelsea and England during the bulk of it, so he has played with some very good players and some very good strikers including Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen and of course Drogba as well as many others.

But it’s easy to forget that Lampard also played for Manchester City and also went out to the United States to play too.
And it was at City where he says he played with the best striker he’s ever played with, and to be honest, you can understand why he’s said this player.
Aguero the best
In words cited by Give Me Sport this week, Lampard says:
“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.”
