Frank Lampard admits the pressure on him to deliver at Chelsea has been cranked right up by the club’s early summer spending spree.
The Blues are the first of Europe’s elite to splash some serious cash in the transfer market post-coronavirus.Firstly, they secured £37.5million Ajax winger Hakim Ziyech and then followed that by landing RB Leipzig striker Tino Werner, with a £47.5m deal for the German international and long-time Liverpool target.Both represent major coups for Lamps’ south west Londoners - and are significant statements of intent from owner Roman Abramovich amid the COVID-19 global recession.But, equally, the pair’s arrival - along with the further additions expected as Chelsea emerge from a two-window transfer ban - only.
