Chelsea legend Frank Lampard has backed three players signed by Chelsea owner Todd Boehly to become big players for Chelsea next season.

Discussing Chelsea’s owners on The Diary of a CEO podcast, Lampard said: “The intentions are certainly good, I know that.

“I had a good relationship with the owners and their intentions are amazing, they want to take the club forward and be the best.

“I think some of the younger players, with a new voice (under Mauricio Pochettino) will now have a greater chance to show what they’ve got.

“They’re talented players. If you’re asking five, six or seven players to come in and hit the ground running, it’s tough. Especially as it was a difficult moment for the club.

“But as a Chelsea fan, I think you look at it and think there’s reasons to be positive because there’s talent there.

“The owners have spent that money because they want to do well and maybe they will readdress their strategy a bit going forward. We’ve already seen six or seven players have left this summer.

“But players like Enzo Fernandez, Mudryk and Madueke are going to develop and be big players for the club.”
