BAKER TO COPY PAL BAMFORD

LEWIS Baker is hoping his loan spell at MK Dons will be just as successful as Chelsea team-mate and former Dons loanee Patrick Bamford.

The 19-year-old midfielder signed for the Dons this week and will stay in Milton Keynes until the end of the season.

The England U21 international aims to follow in the footsteps of fellow Chelsea youth star Bamford, who hit 18 goals in 37 league games while with the Dons.

“Patrick’s a great player and a great person,” said Baker. “He’s now in the Championship with Middlesbrough and I personally think he could play in the Premier League. He came here and did really well and hopefully I can too.”
