Since coming in at Chelsea, Frank Lampard has tried to instill free-flowing football with the help of young and exciting players. The former Derby County manager has played mainly 2 formations, a 4-3-3 and a 4-2-3-1 with Mason Mount drifting between midfield, wings and the penalty box on a regular basis.

While Tamy Abraham has been the highest scorer for Chelsea so far, the Blues always attack as a unit and be it a cross from the flanks or passing through the middle, Chelsea always have the numbers ready to do the business in the final third. The wingers are a crucial part of the system and as a result, Jadon Sancho wouldn't require a lot of time adapting to the current style of play.

Crossing the ball from the flanks as well as being in the box to score is a crucial trait to have in Frank Lampard's playing style right now and the 19-year-old has that in abundance. The stats back the claim, with the England international scoring 8 and assisting 8 in the Bundesliga so far.

All in all, Jadon Sancho would be a perfect fit for Chelsea right now and if the current form is anything to go by, he might actually improve the potency of the club's attack.

#1 Jadon Sancho himself

If it were not for Kylian Mbappe, Jadon Sancho would be the best attacking youngster on the planet and he is the best attacking talent on the market right now. He has matured so much at a such a young age that the team that would be successful in signing him right now, would reap the benefits in the long term be it from the footballing side or a financial point of view.

He doesn't seem to get any nerves on the big stage and that was visible in his cameo against Barcelona at the Camp Nou. The English international has 10 goals and 10 assists in 18 matches across all competitions for Borussia Dortmund this season and he became the first player to reach this mark.

In his time at the top so far, he has played alongside players like Raheem Sterling, Marco Reus, Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford, getting an enormous amount of experience at an early age in the process.

All these traits would help Frank Lampard in developing the relatively young Chelsea side as they hope to challenge for major honours in years to come. Sancho could be the linchpin around which this team's ascent is planned.
