Frank Lampard believes Chelsea starlet Callum Hudson-Odoi should use Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling as a role model and can become one of the world's best players.
The 18-year-old is considered one of the country's hottest prospects and ended speculation over his future by signing a new contract at Stamford Bridge.
Bayern Munich were interested in the youngster but he signed a new five-year contract with the London side.
Lampard thinks his young star should look at Sterling for inspiration, with the England international now enjoying a key role for both club and country at just 24 years of age.
Sterling has blossomed under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola and Lampard wants Hudson-Odoi to take note.
"I know Callum’s talent and he’s got huge talent, hence why the club was so keen to get him signed up and we’re all delighted with that,” Lampard said. "But there is a lot of work to do.
"Raheem Sterling is an incredible example of a player with great talent whose work ethic added to that talent, and an improvement in a short period of time through absolute dedication to a complete player that we are all wowed by.
"(That) is exactly the great model for Callum because he has those talents. And I want him to be the best, the absolute best, because he has the potential to do that."
