Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has admitted he is not ‘jumping’ to make a lot of signings in January, revealing that the club will look to dispatch fringe players and only bring in new players if they ‘feel that we can strengthen ourselves in a good way ”.
Speaking at his pre-game press conference ahead of the Blues’ clash with Manchester City, Lampard said: “I’m not absolutely sure yet, to be honest.
“I have ideas. We have a great team, we will have to see if that changes, if there are opportunities for players who do not play as much. It will be a conversation between the player, the club and myself.
“And then we’ll see if we feel like we can strengthen ourselves in the right way. But we don’t jump up and down to do it.
“I’m focusing this year only on work because we have new players, because we have young players. I am focusing on this. But we will see. It’s a long month. “
