Chelsea continue to be linked with potential January transfer
window signings as the Blues prepare to host London rivals Arsenal in the
Premier League at Stamford Bridge It is a match day for Chelsea - and it is a
big one as the Blues host Arsenal in a London derby. Football fans around the
world can buy online Premier League Tickets to enjoy its stunning performances.
Frank Lampard's Blues welcome the Gunners to
Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea currently sitting ten points above their
opponents in the Premier League table.
The Blues currently occupy the fourth spot in the table, with
Chelsea holding a five-point advantage over Manchester United and Wolves, who
are fifth and sixth respectively.
But after a defeat at Newcastle United on Saturday, Lampard
will be keen to see his Blues side bounce back against their London rivals in
what is a crunch clash for both sides and their hopes of finishing in the top
four this season.
Frank Lampard's comments on Edinson Cavani
Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard has suggested that the Blues
could make a move to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Edinson Cavani this
month.
The Uruguayan forward has asked to leave Paris this
month, amid reported interest from Chelsea and Manchester United, while PSG
sporting director Leonardo confirmed that the French side had turned down a bid
from Atletico Madrid.
And Lampard has not ruled out a move for Cavani before the
end of the January transfer window.
"He's a great player, I played against him and I always
loved his mentality and attitude, and obviously his goal scoring record speaks
for itself," the Chelsea head coach said when asked about the 32-year-old
at his pre-match press conference.
"I'm not absolutely aware of what the situation is, so
we'll see. He's an experienced player, but so are many other players out there.
"I think we are young, and we know about the transitions.
The idea of bringing in experience is something I'm certainly not absolutely
looking away from.
"Because sometimes the young players need a little bit
of help, and if that's the case then that may help us."
Timo Werner transfer decision
Chelsea has been strongly linked with a move to sign RB
Leipzig forward Timo Werner this month.
The Blues are not the only club to have been linked with the
German international though, with Premier League leaders Liverpool also
reportedly interested in signing the 23-year-old.
According to the Daily Mirror, Jurgen Klopp is a
long-time admirer of Werner and the Reds are interested in a £60m transfer.
German outlet Bild has also claimed that Anfield would
be Werner's preferred destination if he decides to leave the Bundesliga club.
It is, however, understood that Werner will not be leaving
the Bundesliga this month, with a summer move more likely for the coveted
forward.
Chelsea has been sent a message by RB Leipzig over the
forward's future, after one Blues fan took to Twitter to try and suggest that
Timo Werner could be on his way to Stamford Bridge, RB Leipzig moved to send a
message in response.
Fresh setback for Frank Lampard amid the key departure
Chelsea and Frank Lampard are set to lose Eddie Newton in
the coming days to Turkish side Trabzonspor.
The 48-year-old joined Lampard's first-team staff in the
summer to link up with Lampard on his return to the club as head coach.
But now, local reports suggest that the former
Chelsea midfielder, who played 214 times for the Blues between 1992 and 1999,
is now set to join the Turkish Super Lig side, who are currently managed by
Huseyin Cimsir.
This would be a blow to Lampard, with Newton a well-respected
member of the coaching team, having spent the previous three years working with
the club's loan players in his role as a technical coach, prior to joining the
first-team set up when Lampard replaced Maurizio Sarri in the summer.
