Chelsea fans have noticed that Frank Lampard follows Dries Mertens on Instagram. It is the latest clue that the Blues will make a move for the out-of-contract Napoli star in the next transfer window.
Lampard is a known fan of the forward and tried to snap him in January. The Englishman is keen to bolster his strikeforce and is looking for a player with a bit of razzle-dazzle.
Since the departure of Eden Hazard, Chelsea have lost a bit of unpredictability about their play. And though Mertens would not be a replacement for his countryman, now at Real Madrid, his versatility along the frontline would be indispensable.
