How Frank Lampard's seven Chelsea signings fared and where they all are now

Frank Lampard is quickly building a reputation as a managerial firefighter.

The Englishman was appointed to keep Everton in the Premier League last season, and he's now returned to Chelsea to help them salvage something from their dismal campaign. The Blues are 11th in the table and have a Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid on the horizon. Winning the latter competition is Lampard's primary aim.

Although many fans will have forgotten, Chelsea were also in a bit of a pickle when Lampard was first appointed as their manager in July 2019. At the time, the Blues were under a transfer embargo and Lampard was forced to trust their youngsters - such as Tammy Abraham, Reece James, Fikayo Tomori and Mason Mount.
