And here are five Chelsea players delighted by the surprise return of Frank Lampard... CFC
Undoubtedly the best thing about Frank Lampard’s return is the effect it could have on Mason Mount, and more importantly, the Chelsea owners’ perception of Mason Mount.
But Mount was Lampard’s starboy, at Derby and then at Chelsea, with suggestions at the start of Lampard’s tenure at Stamford Bridge that the academy graduate was being handed opportunities he hadn’t earned. A Harry Redknapp-style ‘he’ll go right to the very top!’ defence wasn’t quite required from Lampard, but it wasn’t far off.
Lampard will surely put Mount back into the team, safe in the knowledge that the England international will give his absolute all for the manager that he will feel he owes to some extent. And in Lampard’s warm embrace, Mount will be given the best opportunity to show the Chelsea owners exactly how daft it is to even consider selling him this summer.The only player on either list to not have played under Lampard and also the only player who would have taken anyone other than Graham Potter.
