Chelsea boss Frank Lampard says their recent spending is proof he and the board are on the same page.

Timo Werner will join from RB Leipzig and Hakim Ziyech will arrive from Ajax this summer.

Lampard said, "I was here a long time as a player and one thing I realised coming into this job as a manager is that people will persistently ask about your relationship with the board, the owner.

"Hopefully this shows how we've worked together in recruitment and scouting, all playing our roles in trying to bring in the right players. I haven't spoken to the owner recently, [but] I speak to Marina a lot and with Petr (Cech) as well."
