Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, a 19-year-old England Under-21 international who plays for Borussia Dortmund, claimed that a player Manchester City let go six years ago was superior to Frank Lampard. Bynoe-Gittens, who signed for Manchester City at Under-14 level, has one goal and six assists for Dortmund in 13 Bundesliga starts this season. He ranked Frank Lampard as the fourth-best Premier League midfielder on a TikTok video, with Yaya Toure at number two.

Frank Lampard is widely considered one of the best players in the Premier League, with a legacy as an all-time great. Despite being ranked by Jamie Bynoe-Gittens as the fourth-best midfielder, Lampard’s record of 177 goals and 102 assists in the league places him among the highest-scoring and assisting players in Premier League history. Bynoe-Gittens’ remarks on Lampard’s ranking and Yaya Toure’s superiority imply a belief that Toure was a better player at his best compared to Lampard.

Yaya Toure’s unique blend of skills, including sublime technique, the ability to dictate games, and superhuman strength, possibly give him the edge over Frank Lampard at their best. While Lampard was an incredible goalscorer and creator with two decades of presence in the Premier League, Toure’s unmatched ability to carry the ball and beat multiple players to score solo goals highlighted his exceptional talent. Bynoe-Gittens’ comparison between Lampard and Toure suggests a recognition of Toure’s invincibility and dominance at his peak.
