Lampard on transfer rumours: “I can’t talk about these things”

Frank Lampard was asked to give an update on potential departures of some high profile names in his squad in today’s Pre-Match conference.

Rudiger has been linked to Paris Saint-German, Jorginho has been linked to Arsenal while Major Premier League clubs are believed to be circling on Ross Barkley and Ruben Loftus-cheek and not forgetting Callum Hudson-Odoi who is being linked with away to Bayern Munich.

However, The Blues Boss preferred to focus to his squad at the moment and didn’t offer to much insight on transfer  departures.

“I don't expect anything in the window, because they are our players and that's a fact,” 

“There are lots of rumours about those players and others too, so every player would always be a case-by-case situation, and one that would be a happy solution for the player, for myself and the club.”

When asked about Chelsea’s interest in Declan Rice, Lampard said: 

“Again, they are rumours. I can't talk about these things. When players are ours it's not my position to speculate on what may be, and the same on the other side from players from other clubs.

“We have a game against West Brom and the biggest thing for me is getting the players ready for that game. I honestly don't have answers to the speculation of ins and outs going forward.”
