Roman Abramovich set to back Frank Lampard for two ‘marquee’ signings in summer

Roman Abramovich is prepared to back Frank Lampard in the transfer market by making two ‘marquee’ signings at Chelsea this summer.

The Athletic say Abramovich is ready to splash the cash after two transfer windows where the club was banned from doing deals.

On Chelsea’s radar is a number of attacking players such as Jadon Sancho, Kai Havertz, Moussa Dembele and Timo Werner.

While they have also made a new left-back with Ben Chilwell their top target and the likes of Alex Telles and Nicolas Tagliafico also under consideration.

Chelsea are ready to move some fringe players on with two of the highest earners Willian and Pedro expected to leave when their contracts expire.
