Frank Lampard insists Jude Bellingham should be a Chelsea player.
The Real Madrid midfielder is now regarded as the best young player in the world.
And Lampard says he could've been signed from Birmingham City for £20m. But he could not convince Chelsea to cough up.
"When I coached Chelsea (the first time) I was desperate to bring in Jude Bellingham," he told the Obi One Podcast.
"But I couldn't get it through upstairs (management) - the idea of paying £20m for someone his age (at the time)…"
Bellingham was 17 when he left Birmingham for Borussia Dortmund.
