Vincent Kompany believes that Frank Lampard will do an excellent job at Chelsea.

The Blues have been hunting for their next manager since the departure of Maurizio Sarri to Juventus.

It appears they are close to appointing Lampard, as British media reports indicate that his current side Derby have given him permission to discuss terms with Chelsea.

He already has the approval of Kompany, who is taking on his own managerial job at Anderlecht.

"Sign him up. He is the man!" said Kompany to reporters of Lampard.

"Not only is Frank a great guy but someone who I learned so much from at a stage in my career. He was a bit older when he joined Manchester City and Frank was an incredible professional.

"What he brought at the time, he stepped the level up for everyone else so I know the impact of Frank Lampard on a team and I'm trying to have the same impact when it comes as an older player for Anderlecht.

"He's up there with the most intelligent players so it's a natural match with Chelsea, I completely support him."
