Watch out Mary Earps! Chelsea boss Emma Hayes backs Hannah Hampton to become 'best goalkeeper in the world' as she admits USWNT envy

Hampton, who joined Chelsea from Aston Villa last summer, has featured in Emma Hayes' starting lineup regularly in the current season. After another stellar performance in the club's <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-women-player-ratings-vs-arsenal-lauren-james/bltea72c7164b567b97#cs739e1641f6e0e46b" target="_blank">comprehensive 3-1 win over Arsenal</a> in the Women's Super League on Friday, manager Hayes heaped praise on the goalkeeper as she claimed the 23-year would be a "top goalkeeper" in future.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Speaking to reporters, Hayes said, "I say this as the future USA coach: England are so lucky. I remember watching her play at Birmingham and I said ‘She is going to be a top, top goalkeeper’ and I genuinely believe Hannah has all the ability to become the best in the world."

WHAT EMMA HAYES SAID

Hampton has enjoyed a rich vein of form since moving to the west London side this season. Having made her international debut for the Lionesses in 2022, the goalkeeper has appeared in three matches for her national team thus far. If she continues to perform consistently she could potentially replace Manchester United star Mary Earps as the England number one in the future.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Hayes' side will now shift focus to European football as they are all set to face Ajax in the first leg of their Women's Champions League quarter-final fixture on Tuesday.
