Chelsea legend Frank Lampard believes Jack Wilshere can reestablish himself as one of the Premier League's greatest midfielders after his loan switch from Arsenal to Bournemouth.
Lampard, 38, who still plays for MLS side New York City FC, said he can empathise with Wilshere's injury woes and believes the playmaker has made the right decision in moving to Eddie Howe's team, mainly because he needs minutes under his belt.
“People will be surprised by it but I think it’s great because he has to play," Lampard told the sun
“I’ve been very fortunate with injuries in my career but I’ve had a few more at the back end. I know the frustrations.
“I don’t know why he has been injured for a long time. But I’d love to see Jack play regularly at Bournemouth. Then I’m sure the future is bright for him.
“He’s a big player for England. We want talented midfielders like that to come through. Only by playing regularly can he do that.”
Lampard also commented on another eye-opening deadline day deal, saying Chelsea re-signing David Luiz is great business.
“It’s a good signing. I played with David. He’s a great defender, great energy. At today’s prices, it’s probably not a bad signing generally.”
Lampard also said his allegiance is to the blue half of Manchester when it comes to United meeting City next weekend, despite his close relationship as a player with Jose Mourinho.
“Of course I have respect for Jose," Lampard explained.
“But I had a great time at City for a year and they were great people for me. I never imagined playing at a club after Chelsea. But the staff, the people behind the scenes, the fans really welcomed me. So my loyalties will be there watching that game.”
