Frank Lampard reveals he could have signed Rice and Bellingham as new Chelsea midfield

Everton manager Frank Lampard admits he was really focused on signing England midfield pair Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham for Chelsea.

The two young midfielders are expected to be part of the England line-up for much of the World Cup games with Mason Mount completing the midfield trio.

Lampard is a big fan of Borussia Dortmund’s highly-rated youngster Bellingham.

He told KEEPUP: “He’s crucial for England – an outstanding talent.

“He’s more experienced and talented than his years show – to do what he’s done at the top level already.

“I tried to sign him when I was at Chelsea actually – unfortunately it didn’t happen but I wanted to sign him and Declan Rice (West Ham).

“That’ll be England’s midfield probably during this tournament.

“There’s a lot of expectation so we’ll have to be a bit steady with him but the way he’s played and performed, he has a real maturity about him.

“Not much will faze him so I expect him to go and have a good tournament.”
