Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho has gone cold on the idea of moving to Chelsea.
Sport says Chelsea manager Frank Lampard issued a special request to Roman Abramovich about Sancho.
The Blues are battling Manchester United for the Borussia Dortmund sensation, who is valued at £120million.
Despite being a Chelsea supporter, Sancho is reluctant to join the Blues.
The 20-year-old's stance will greatly frustrate Lampard, who asked Abramovich to prioritise a move for Sancho in the next transfer window.
