John Terry delivers verdict on Andreas Christensen as Chelsea handed Declan Rice transfer boost

Here's all the news from around Stamford Bridge over the past 24 hours.

Lampard's half-time reaction vs Arsenal

According to The Athletic, Frank Lampard "lost it" in the Chelsea dressing room at half-time in their 3-1 defeat to Arsenal on Boxing Day.

The Gunners were out of sorts going into the all-London derby, but completely outplayed the Blues at the Emirates Stadium.

The report claims that Lampard completely tore into his side after a poor first-half performance in north London as he demanded a reaction in the second period.

At half-time, Chelsea made two substitutions with Timo Werner and Mateo Kovacic both being replaced - with the article claiming that Lampard provoked a few individuals in front of the group.

Frank Lampard press conference after Villa draw

Terry reacts to what Christensen did

Chelsea legend and now Aston Villa coach John Terry has reacted to what Andreas Christensen did in the side's 1-1 draw on Monday evening.

Christensen got into a tangle with Jack Grealish, and whilst the latter swiftly returned to his feet, the former didn't, and the visitors ended up equalising through Anwar El Ghazi.

Taking to Instagram after the game, Terry wrote: "Great to be back at the Bridge tonight. Another great performance in the space of 48 hours from the boys @avfcofficial. Rest and recover now for the next game."

The former Blues captain's post was met with a comment from a Chelsea supporter who insisted that Terry would have been furious if Villa had conceded a goal in such a manner with Christensen still down injured.

Terry delivered a blunt response, replying: "He should have got up."

Noble unsure over Rice future

West Ham United captain Mark Noble is unsure whether his team-mate and reported Chelsea target Declan Rice will stay at the London Stadium for much longer.

Rice was continuously linked with a move to Stamford Bridge over the summer, and reports are suggesting that the Blues could make a move for the England midfielder in January.

Hammers skipper Noble, when quizzed by talkSPORT over his colleague's future, said: "He's still learning his trade, he'll get much better with experience.

"I’m hoping it’s here [at West Ham] but in this game you never know. I’m sure he’ll be a top, top player and an even better player in years to come.

"With Dec I don’t have to say too much. He’s such a great kid, got a great family, he’s a top, top player.

"There are two or three things that I’ve been on him about in the last two seasons to change in what he does."
