​Lampard delays Chelsea transfer decisions until after FA Cup final

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard will make a final decision on a few transfers after the FA Cup final.

The Blues want to end the season with a trophy, as they are almost certain to go out in the round of 16 of the Champions League to Bayern Munich.

The game against Arsenal is their last realistic chance of silverware, and Lampard will focus on the match on Sunday.

The Guardian says he will then make a final decision about players such as Marcos Alonso and Emerson Palmieri, as the club prioritise the signing of a left back.

Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizalabaga's future is also in doubt, as well as Michy Batshuayi.

Jorginho may also leave, while Tammy Abraham could be third choice striker behind Timo Werner and Olivier Giroud next season.
