Lampard takes his promotion chasers to struggling Hull City tomorrow night aiming to keep their Premier League push on track.

And the Coventry boss had no hesitation in praising the impact winger Sakamoto has on the Sky Blues dressing room, paying him the ultimate compliment by comparing his attitude to that of former Chelsea star N'Golo Kante.

“He reminds me a bit of N'Golo, who was the same at Chelsea,” said Lampard.
