Chelsea are closing in on appointing former Blues manager and club legend Frank Lampard as interim boss until the end of the season. Graham Potter was sacked last weekend with Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique emerging as favourites to become the next permanent manager at Stamford Bridge.
Lampard, who won three Premier League titles as a player with Chelsea before returning as manager in 2019, has been without a job in football since his sacking from Everton at the start of the year. He now looks set for a sensational return to west London for the final few months of the 2022/23 season.
Arsenal are set to face their London rivals later this month at the Emirates Stadium and Lampard is likely to be in the opposition dugout for that clash. The Chelsea legend has praised Mikel Arteta in the past and the Gunners manager boasts a strong record when coming up against Lampard's teams, winning three of the five matches that have managed against us each other in.
