Frank Lampard tells Chelsea to sign top 24-year-old striker now
Frank Lampard admits that he would love to see Chelsea make a move to sign Romelu Lukaku from Everton this summer
Frank Lampard has admitted that he would love to see Chelsea make a move to re-sign Romelu Lukaku this summer.
The Blues have been linked with a host of players in recent weeks as Antonio Conte prepares his team for a return to the Champions League next season.
However, the west London side have so far not signed any new players and Conte is believed to be on the lookout for a new striker this summer.
Lukaku has been heavily linked with a return to Stamford Bridge from Everton this summer, three years after he left Chelsea to sign for the Toffees.
And Lampard, who played alongside the Belgian striker before his move to Everton back in 2014, feels that the forward would be a good fit for Conte’s side.
Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ, Lampard said: “Lukaku would be a great option.
“In terms of an all-round striker, who is a proven goalscorer in the Premier League, he would be an option for them. But there are others and I’m sure Chelsea will look around and find the same type of player as Diego Costa.
“They need a physical presence, someone who can replicate what Costa does but also a player that will get them 20-plus goals a season.”
Chelsea won the Premier League title last season in what was Conte’s first campaign in charge at the west London club but the Blues came up short in the FA Cup final, when they were beaten by Arsenal.
