Former Blues player Frank Sinclair trusts that Chelsea will be able to win the Premier League trophy under Frank Lampard.
Chelsea will grow exponentially under Frank Lampard and could potentially win the Premier League title according to Frank Sinclair. With over £200 million to spend during this latest transfer window, the Blues have stored great firepower in their squad. Also, Lampard’s first season for Chelsea saw the team finish on the fourth-place in the league.
The likes of Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva, and Edouard Mendy aided Chelsea to come back to life. Moreover, pressure stacked on Stamford Bridge with Liverpool and Manchester City setting up high standards.
And now, Lampard’s newly-formed Chelsea is beginning to work together ahead of a tough campaign. The Londoners have made a steady start to the 2020-21 season, and now they face Sheffield United on the weekend. This fixture will be following a fresh 3-0 Champions League win over Rennes in midweek. Chelsea, consequently, moved to the top of Group E in the European tournament with consecutive clean sheets.
Will they lift the trophy?
Former Blues man Sinclair, furthermore, is sure that Chelsea is progressing in the right direction. He also believes that his old side will be able to achieve the Premier League glory under Lampard.
“Initially when Frank Lampard brought in a few new faces I was really excited. But then you have the realization that it’s going to take time for things to work out. Especially in an attacking sense,” the ex-Blues defender told Ladbrokes.
“You need to give them time to settle into the team.
“It’s pretty evident in recent results that they have done that and I can only see Chelsea kicking on and getting stronger throughout the season. And I think they can be real contenders for the title because, for me, there’s no outstanding side.
“Obviously Liverpool is the main team you’ve got to try and overtake to win the title. But with them losing Virgil van Dijk I think it opens things up for a few sides to be involved in the title race.
“I think Chelsea will be in and around it; they’ll only get stronger throughout the season and for me. They’ve got arguably the best attacking lines in the country – along with Liverpool.
“The more they get used to playing under Frank, the better they’ll get.”
