For a Premier League beginner’s course, Frank Lampard has done well in his maiden campaign. Amid all the COVID-19 madness and afore the delay of football, Chelsea was showing signs of weakness and fatigue.
They were finding it hard to fend off others fighting for Champions League football while running the final stretch. This justifies the London side needs quality in depth. Adding to this, the depth required needs to install experience.
If they fail at finishing in the top four, transfer business might take an ugly turn and they end up getting none of the targets they set out for. This would hinder the next phase at the Bridge.
Mertens is the type of player that will aid in Lampard getting to the next stage. Chelsea could use his quality and long-term knowledge of the game.

Dries Mertens wants Chelsea move
As per reports, the Napoli man prefers a move to Stamford Bridge over any other possible destination. This is not the first transfer window the player and Premier League side have been linked.
In the comments, there were divided opinions on the possibility of a Mertens’ transfer. The player’s age doesn’t bode well with Lampard’s new age policy, where youth is key. However, the player’s talent must never be doubted.
