Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland has picked Chelsea boss Frank Lampard as the retired player that he would most like to play with.

The 19-year-old has cemented his status as the hottest teenage talent in world football since joining Dortmund from Red Bull Salzburg in January.

Haaland has a combined 40 goals in 2019-20, 12 of those coming in his first 11 appearances for BVB, where he remains under contract until 2024.

Chelsea are one of a number of teams have been tipped to move for Haaland in the summer, and the Norway international got Blues fans excited with one of his answers during an Instagram Q&A with ESPN.

Asked which retired player he would most like to play in the same side as, the youngster replied: "Frank Lampard".

Alf-Inge Haaland confirmed earlier this season that his son would like to one day play in the Premier League.
