Chelsea consider double transfer opportunity in wake of Frank Lampard Everton sacking

Chelsea look set to take advantage of the crisis ensuing at Everton following the sacking of Frank Lampard. The 44-year-old looks set to be dismissed from his position as head coach at Goodison Park, with the Toffees in the relegation zone, although no official confirmation on that has yet come from the club.

According to a number of publications, Lampard has been relieved from his duties in Merseyside. Everton are winless in eight Premier League games and sit second from bottom in the table as a result.

Despite parachute payments, relegation from the English top-flight would lead to drastic financial consequences. So, anticipating that the Toffees may look to release players to reduce their wage bill, Chelsea are reportedly keen to capitalise on a number of 'opportunities' at Everton before the January transfer window slams shut.
