Latest Chelsea transfer rumours: Frank Lampard makes key January decision, £100m Jadon Sancho claim

Chelsea pulled off an impressive win over Tottenham at the weekend but it's clear that the Blues need some reinforcements during the January transfer window.

Frank Lampard's men have done remarkably well in the former midfielder star's first season in charge amid a transfer ban throughout the summer.

But now it has been reported that Lampard will have £150m to play with in the upcoming transfer window.

Here are some of the players that Chelsea could be signing, with the latest transfer round-up below.

Lampard delighted with transfer embargo being lifted

Chelsea told to sign Sancho

Former Chelsea defender Frank Sinclair has told Lampard to go and sign Jadon Sancho next month.

Sancho has starred for Borussia Dortmund since making the move from Manchester City.

His form has led to speculation aplenty about his future, with the likes of Manchester United linked.

But Chelsea have also been associated with rumours on the 19-year-old's future and now Sinclair has urged his old side to act, with a £100m bid reportedly being prepared.

"Frank, go and get him. There’s a link with Chelsea at the moment, so we need to get him," Sinclair explained. "I think he’s quality. I'd like to see him at Chelsea."

Chelsea starlet discusses his future

Chelsea young gun Marc Guehi has spoken about his future amid links with Nottingham Forest.

Forest, Norwich City, Southampton, Swansea City and Bristol City all have an interest in the 19-year-old defender.

Guehi signed a new contract in September and has no qualms with going out on loan, though he would like to stay at Chelsea.

"The door is open for anything really," Guehi explained recently. "If the opportunity is there and it’s the right move for me to go on loan, I wouldn’t say no.

"But at the same time, if the gaffer wants me to stay and help the team, and develop and try to keep pushing other players in the squad, I would do that as well."

Lampard's huge January decision

Frank Lampard has made a key decision ahead of the January transfer window and which positions he is targeting.

Goal.com, per The Express are reporting that Lampard has decided that he wants a left-footed central defender.

Chelsea have struggled at times defensively this season and it's said that Lampard would like a left-footed centre-back to balance out the right-footed options he has in the position with the likes of Fikayo Tomori, Kurt Zouma and Andreas Christensen.
