Chelsea transfer roundup: Lampard could return to Chelsea, Barcelona interested in club star and more

Chelsea has had a difficult start under new manager Antonio Conte as they have failed to land their targets in the summer transfer window and are in a difficult situation as they have lost to Liverpool and Arsenal in Premier League in consecutive weeks.

Conte has switched the system to 3-5-2 in an attempt to make their defense more solid which has helped Blues win 2-0 against Hull City over the weekend after two consecutive losses to Liverpool and Arsenal in the league. The Blues would be hoping to turn the tables around in the coming weeks.

Here we look at all the stories around Chelsea today.

Chelsea midfielder Mikel John Obi feels that the club are going in the right leadership under Conte as he sees the manager could win trophies at the club.

“I can only see Chelsea winning trophies with this guy and hopefully we can achieve that,” Mikel told Goal.

“The manager knows what he wants, we are behind him, we support him as players and we have to go with him.

“We want to be, at the end of the season, on the top and, if we can win it, why not [go for it].”

Chelsea are ready to offer star winger Eden hazard as part of a swap deal to bring in Leonardo Bonucci, according to The Sun.

The Juventus center back was heavily linked with Chelsea in the recent days as Antonio Conte is keen to strengthen his defense and the club are ready to break the bank to sign the talented Italian defender.

Former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has admitted that he could be back to Stamford Bridge as he fancies managerial job with the Blues in the future. The 38-year old who is currently playing in MLS has scored  12 goals in 17 appearances this season for New York City FC.

“There was a period earlier in my career where I really fancied it, then I thought I don’t fancy the managerial thing,” Lampard told Sky Sports. “Now, I’m back onto it. The problem is I’ve got to get my badges and the hard thing for me is to have time to do it.

“As soon as I finish playing I’d like to take it up and maybe be a manager. It’s hard, though, because I only want the Chelsea job. As a Chelsea man or not, the job is one of the pinnacles of football, they are one of the top clubs in the world now. And I’m a Chelsea man.

“It might be a different route for me and might take a while but the dream would be to manage Chelsea one day. If I was good enough, if they wanted me and it was the right time.”

Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen has been the subject of interest for European giants Barcelona, according to The Sun.

The 21-year old has been in phenomenal form since his loan move to German club Borussia Monchengladbach last summer as he has developed into one of the best young defenders in Europe.

Barcelona are looking to find a potential replacement for Javier Mascherano who is at the fag end of his career as they look to find a defender who could partner Pique in the central defense.

Italian giants AC Milan are monitoring the situation of Michy Batshuayi as they look to make a move for the former Marseille man in January, according to Daily Mirror.

The 23-year old has moved to Chelsea in summer but has failed to make an impact at Stamford Bridge due to the limited opportunities under Antonio Conte who has used Diego Costa as his primary target man as the Spaniard is in scintillating form since the start of the season.
