Paul Lambert believes Fabian Delph can play at the
highest level if he continues to produce the goods for Aston Villa.
Delph scored the only goal of Saturday's game with
Chelsea, the 24-year-old collecting the ball on the halfway line before jinking
his way towards the penalty area and then producing a great piece of skill to
flick home Marc Albrighton's cross.
Lambert was delighted with the impact his midfielder had
on the game and has no doubt there is more to come from the former Leeds United
man.
"Fabian has been playing for the majority of the
season and he's been excellent for us," Lambert told the Birmingham Mail.
"There's massive potential there to be a really top
player and if he keeps his feet on the ground, keeps learning, keeps doing what
he's doing then we'll see where he goes.
"He has ups and downs, like everybody else, but over
the piece he's been consistent for us .
"He's been training most days, been fit for most
games and if he gets the goals from the middle of the pitch it will certainly
keep him going.
"I think the goal, he's got little things like that
in him, in his locker. I think he's got the insurance of Ashley Westwood behind
him to go and do things."
Delph has made 26 Premier League appearances for Villa
this season and has chipped in with three goals.
