Manchester City loanee Frank Lampard has praised Chelsea forward Diego Costa.

The Brazilian-born Spain international has scored nine goals in nine appearances for the Blues since joining from Atlético de Madrid in July and Lampard is not surprised how well both he and Cesc Fàbregas have settled in southwest London. 

“I’ve watched their games from afar and neither of them are a surprise to me.,” he told Sky Sports.

“I knew Cesc Fàbregas and played against him at Arsenal. He knows the Premier League and is a top, world-class player. 

“We watched Diego Costa on video before we played Atlético Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League last year and you could have probably sat there for three hours looking at his running, his goals and the things he was doing. I thought ‘he’s some player’ and Chelsea have signed that player.”
