Joe Cole believes that Frank Lampard has his eyes set on becoming the permanent successor to Graham Potter at Chelsea. The 44-year-old was appointed caretaker manager on Thursday afternoon as Todd Boehly continues the club's search for a new head coach.
Julian Nagelsmann, Luis Enrique and even Carlo Ancelotti are among those who have been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in the summer. But Cole has claimed that nobody is in a "better position" than Lampard to take the west London outfit forward.
Speaking on BT Sport, the former Blues midfielder addressed the club's current situation. Cole said: "It makes perfect sense for me. First of all you have to say disappointed for Graham Potter, I think he held himself with great dignity throughout his time at Chelsea.
