Lampard: I won’t have any talk of the January transfer window at Cobham until that month arrives

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has said that he won’t have any talk of the January transfer window at Cobham until that month arrives.

He is pleased to see his players focusing on training, and for him all he is thinking about now is the busy run of games coming up.

Lampard says he expects to rotate his midfield in the weeks ahead, and he has been satisfied with the performances from his players in those positions this season.

Lampard reiterates the work being done on the training ground to improve our finishing in the wake of recent games that have been tighter than the boss would have liked.

‘When you look at the quality of the players we have there it’s not a problem position. I want my full-backs to get forward a lot. Emerson did really well on Tuesday, and Alonso was there when we were winning a lot of games,” he said in a press conference on Friday.

On the subject of full-backs, Lampard says Reece James has developed plenty this season and has really benefitted from training and playing alongside the experienced Cesar Azpilicueta.

Chelsea Free to Sign Players in January

The Court of Arbitration for Sport has halved Chelsea’s transfer ban. Chelsea is now free to sign players in the upcoming transfer window which is due to be opened in late December 2019 till early January 2020.

​The blues were initially hit with a transfer ban before the summer, meaning they would not have been able to register any new signings until the summer of 2020, and forcing new manager Frank Lampard to lean heavily on the club’s academy products.

Chelsea were only able to sign Croatian international Mateo Kovacic since he was already in Chelsea on loan for one season from Real Madrid.

The likes of Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount, Fikayo Tomori and Reece James have thrived in first team roles as a result, with Lampard preparing to go his first season back at the club without adding any further talent to the squad.

Chelsea are currently sitting comfortably at the 4th position 14 points behind league leaders Liverpool who are unbeaten. They are only 6 points behind second placed Leicester city and 3 points behind 3rd place last season’s Champions Manchester City.

with the transfer ban reversed, reports have already emerged linking several players to Chelsea. Crystal Palace forward Wilfred Zaha has been linked to Stamford Bridge in January as reported by The Sun.

England players Ben Chilwel and Jordan Sancho who plays for Leicester and Borussia Dortmund at club level respectively have also been linked to the London move.

Chelsea are also enjoying having a player as a contender for the EPL Golden Boot with Forward Tammy Abraham scoring 11 goals in 14 appearances in the premier league this season, 3 goals behind leader Leicester’s Jamie Vardy.

John Terry’s message to Abraham, Loftus-Cheek and Tomori that Chelsea fans will love

John Terry made his Chelsea first-team debut 20 years ago this month.

In fact, it came on October 28, 1998 as he was a substitute against Aston Villa – with whom he’s currently an assistant head coach – in a League Cup tie at Stamford Bridge which ended 4-1 to the hosts.

And one member of the current Blues squad who has followed in Terry’s footsteps in terms of coming through the ranks at the club had a superb message for the former defender.

To mark the occasion, Tammy Abraham sent the Blues legend a picture of the club’s academy players watching that exact game from two decades ago.

The twist being that the players were babies at the time and were watching from their cots – something which made Terry feel rather old.

When @tammyabraham1 sends you this pic and makes you feel old,” Terry wrote on instagram and tagged Callum Hudson-Odoi, Mason Mount and Recce James.

He then brought up a brilliant and hilarious point about Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Fikayo Tomori and Abraham.

“You 3 shouldn’t have been up that late watching the game,” he added.

This prompted every player tagged in the photo to respond.

Abraham said: “I keep laughing at this.”

Mount replied with: “That’s brilliant.”

Loftus-Cheek had the real question: “Am I the only one wondering why we have beards and are sleeping in cots?”

Tomori said: “Love it.” James said: “Class.” While Hudson-Odoi reacted with a few laughing emojis.
