Fulham veteran Willian is delighted seeing former teammate Frank Lampard back in charge of Chelsea.

Willian, 34, played with and for Lampard at Chelsea.

He told the Daily Mail: "He's a great guy and was an unbelievable player, a legend for Chelsea.

"I had a great time with him when he was there as a manager. He gave me freedom and confidence to play and I wish him all the best, you know. I want him to make a success there."

Willian, meanwhile, is drawing inspiration from another former Blues teammate.

"Look at Thiago Silva at Chelsea," he smiles. "He is 38, yeah? Maybe in two years I will change position. Central midfield. Just stand and pass."
