Frank Lampard taking the right steps in his Chelsea rebuild

By -
Timo Werner to Chelsea seems imminent as BILD SPORT confirms that The Blues are close to completing a deal of fee around €60m for the German striker.


Werner, who has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool, has been reported to almost completing a move to Premier League rivals.

Chelsea are desperately in need of a striker after the dip in form of Tammy Abraham which has seen Oliver Giroud start for the blues in their recent games before the suspension of matches have maybe convinced the RB Leipzig man to choose them over the current European champion.

With 31 goals and 12 assists in 43 outings for Leipzig this season, Werner, will be an upgrade on all of Chelsea's current strikers. His pace combined with his ice old finishing prowess will also prove deadly asset for London club.

The Blues have completed the signing of Hakimi Ziyech from Ajax ahead of next season and adding Werner to that will make the Frank Lampard's side impeccable next season.

The German has been in direct talks with Frank Lampard and has agreed to sign a five years contract with The Blues in the coming days.


Werner made no secret of his desires to join Liverpool back in April but the Merseyside club cooled off their interest due to financial difficulties amidst the Coronavirus pandemic.

Should Chelsea be able to get done the deal to bring Werner to the Stamford Bridge, he will be expected to slot into the starting lineup with ease as the club's current strike powers fall short of the 24year old.

The Blues are also believed to be courting Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell as Frank Lampard look to lineup up his choice of players next season after their transfer ban was lifted for this summer transfer.

Ralf Rangnick proffered a permanent solution but United choose to make more casualties with Erik Ten Hag

Ralf Rangnick appeared to have unraveled the puzzle at Manchester United during his short stint as the club's interim manager but the hierarchy did not take heed to his priceless advice. Albeit the German did not enjoy the best of time in the helm of affairs in Old Trafford, Rangnick, who had proven to be more of a administrative minded man prior to his appointment at the club did left blueprints that could have healed the club completely. Looking back and you'll realize it could have been more worth it had speculations of him becoming the club's Director after leaving the Coaching role come to pass. Even in his early days as a professional football coach, Rangnick did not have a reputation of thriving when the stake is high but he flourishes more in an environment that gives him the avenue to build from scratch. The notion was proven truth during his time at Stuttgart, Hannover and even Schalke, where he helped all these teams finesse nightmares into glamour. His appointme

A sign of what is to come but no excuse for Chelsea's late capitulation in the London derby

By -

Chelsea ended a run of three straight home defeats to Arsenal in an enthralling London derby match in the Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening. While many will see it as a positive omen for the host, which is rightly so, it was very poor game management by both the players and the manager to allow the visitors snatch a point later on the night. Arsenal was there for the taking. It was the worst display by Mikel Arteta's side in recent years and despite having a two goal cushion, Mauricio Pochettino's side were unable to see out the win from a very comfortable position. Cole Palmer and Mykaylo Mudryk continue to show signs of finally settling into their rhythm under Mauricio Pochettino, much to the delight of the home support as the Blues were all over their rival from the North for the first 70 minutes in the Bridge. Both players also scored in either half, with Mykaylo Mudryk scoring his first ever Chelsea goal in the Stamford Bridge with a wonderful cross-cum-shot, which caugh
