Frank Lampard, boss of Derby County and former Chelsea midfielder, praised defenseman Fikayo Tomori for his progress with the Rams this season.
The center back and Mason Mount have left Stamford Bridge for a season in the championship to reinforce their experience in the hope of being able to contribute to the future success of their parent club.
Mount has tended to dominate the news given his performance as a creative midfield and scorer. Defenders may be overlooked as their best moments may be less obvious.
Born in Canada, Tomori has played 37 league games this season. Lampard praised Lampard ahead of Derby's 3-3 draw with Brentford.
"His progression this year has been incredible," said the retired midfielder in an interview with Rams TV.
"Since his arrival, he was still a good young player, but you can see how much he plays a crucial role in our team." He grew up from the inside and I enjoyed working with him at daily."
"He wants to learn and improve his game, but he uses all the attributes that he has, he still has many steps forward, but he was amazing Saturday against Rotherham.
"He played from the first minute to the last and when he plays like that, it's scary to think how good he can be – he can go to the top he plays like he did." Saturday and can get better.
"If you look at how Tomori celebrates every goal. he sprints on the field and celebrates with everyone and he feels it. That's what fans want to see and that's why players have the ability to be top players because it comes from their inner hunger.
"We are extremely pleased with his progress and he needs to keep playing for the last two games."
