Joe Cole believes Frank Lampard can lead Chelsea back to title contention

Former Chelsea star Joe Cole believes Frank Lampard has the credentials to transform the Blues into potential title contenders once. The west London giants have been far from competing for the Premier League in the past two seasons and that could remain the case for the forthcoming campaign with the club not able to strengthen the squad due to a transfer ban.

Speaking to The Mail, Cole said that Lampard has the opportunity of changing the culture of the club and blood more youngsters into the first-team squad. He added the 41-year-old won’t need much time to adjust to the surroundings being a Blues legend and he is the right man to change the club’s fortunes in the Premier League.

The Brazil international has been an influential performer for the Blues over the years, but he is no longer in their ranks after he made the surprise move to Premier League rivals Arsenal before the transfer deadline.

Since then, the Blues have opened their Premier League campaign with a disappointing 4-0 loss to Manchester United on the road and Merson believes the departure of Luiz from the club’s ranks has reduced the quality in the club’s backline. Speaking to Sky Sports, Merson indicated that goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga prefers to play out from the back and that may not necessarily suit the current central defensive combination of Andreas Christensen and Kurt Zouma.

Kovacic looking forward to scoring goals under Frank Lampard

Croatian midfielder Mateo Kovacic is hoping to learn to score more goals under the guidance of Chelsea boss Frank Lampard. The midfielder spent the previous campaign on loan with the west London giants and he managed to sufficiently impress during the 51 appearances to secure a permanent move to the club.

Despite this, the 25-year-old was disappointing on the creativity front with not a single goal scored but he is hoping to make amends under Lampard, who is currently the club’s all-time scorer with 211 goals, he said: “I’m looking forward to working with him a lot. He was an amazing player and he showed last season that he is a good coach as well. I’m looking forward to learning how to score from him because he scored quite a lot and me not so much last season! I’m maybe not exactly the same type of midfielder as he was but he had some strong abilities, especially scoring goals.”
