Frank Lampard asked why he thinks Kevin De Bruyne was sold by Chelsea under Jose Mourinho

It's a sale Chelsea must regret with every passing performance and Frank Lampard has now weighed in on Kevin De Bruyne's departure from Stamford Bridge.

The Belgian international completed his £50million move to the Etihad Stadium in 2015. With game time at Stamford Bridge hard to come by, De Bruyne headed over to Wolfsburg and made a name for himself in the Bundesliga.

City then swooped in to land his services and they have not looked back since, with De Bruyne one of the world stars in football and best midfielders in the sport. Lampard - a former team mate of the 31-year-old's - will be looking to keep him quiet in Sunday's meeting between City and Chelsea. His exit from the Blues under Jose Mourinho, in the eyes of Lampard, came at a time when competition was fierce.
