Ben Chilwell latest
It has already been a busy transfer window for Chelsea this summer.
Kai Havertz appears to be the next priority target for Chelsea, with the Blues locked in discussions with Bayer Leverkusen over the price for the German international.
But it is not only attacking areas that Chelsea are looking to improve this summer, with left-back identified as an area that needs strengthening.
Ben Chilwell has been a long term target for Lampard, and there has been a lot of talk around the future of the Leicester City full-back in recent days.
Here's the latest on the Foxes' left-back.
Dean Henderson boost
Chelsea are on the lookout for a new goalkeeper this summer, with a number of names being linked with the club.
A disappointing season for Kepa Arrizabalaga in the Blues’ goal has led to Frank Lampard searching for a replacement during the current transfer window.
Names that are said to be interesting Chelsea include Atletico Madrid’s Jan Oblak and Leicester City’s Kasper Schmeichel, while the Blues are said to be considering testing Manchester United’s reserve with an offer for goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
The 23-year-old had an impressive first season in the Premier League on loan at Sheffield United during the 2019/20 campaign, and the Blades were keen for the goalkeeper to stay at Bramall Lane for a bit longer.
Granovskaia is on the ve rge of completing Lampard's third Chelsea transfer
Chelsea's fourth-place finish in the 2019/20 Premier League season gave Blues boss Frank Lampard reason for optimism ahead of next season.
After having to navigate a transfer ban and the sale of star player Eden Hazard, automatic qualification for the Champions League was an admirable achievement for Lampard and his young squad.
But the fashion in which the season ended for the west Londoners gave Lampard a clear indication that he must strengthen his squad this summer to compete with Europe's elite.
Defeat to Arsenal in the FA Cup final was compounded by the heavy beating delivered by Bayern Munich in the Champions League last-16.
