Chelsea assure Lampard of massive summer transfer budget

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has been assured of a huge transfer budget for the summer market.

The Daily Star says Lampard will be looking to strengthen his side during the summer and the Blues have promised him £150million to help him overhaul his squad.

The Blues didn't sign any players in the January window, to the frustration of Lampard, despite the Chelsea boss looking to bring in some players to help secure a Champions League qualifying place.

The club have promised him a budget of around £150m to work with in the next window.

Since January the Blues have been busy securing deals for the summer and have already agreed to a deal with Ajax to sign Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech for £38m.

The club have also secured the transfer of 16-year-old Finish winger Jimi Tauriainen from HJK Helsinki.

As for the club's summer transfer targets, the report claims Lampard wants a centre-back, a left-back, a striker and a goalkeeper.
