'10/10 performance for Lampard!' - Chelsea fans love what Ben Chilwell has just done for England

England are cruising to victory over Montenegro in tonight's Euro 2020 qualifier at Wembley Stadium.

And there's one player in particular who is catching the eye of Chelsea supporters.

Not Mason Mount, who has started alongside Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Harry Winks. Nor is it Jadon Sancho who talked up a possible transfer to Stamford Bridge ahead of the game.

The spotlight has fallen on Leicester City's Ben Chilwell.

As the Three Lions raced into a 3-0 lead thanks to Oxlade-Chamberlain's opener as well as strikes from captain Harry Kane, it was the left-back who was the source for all three goals.

Amid talk of a move to Chelsea at some point in the future, this is a very impressive audition from the Foxes full-back.

Left-back is certainly an area in which Frank Lampard could look to bolster when the west London outfit are next allowed to make signings.

Based on this showing, Chilwell would be an expensive one.

Whilst it's unlikely that the Blues would be able to sign Chilwell in January - regardless of the outcome of the CAS transfer ban appeal - he should be a target come the end of the season.

It's clear that Chilwell has impressed a number of Chelsea fans watching the game.

Take a look at some of the best responses on Twitter to the defender's hat-trick of assists...
