One issue that has haunted Chelsea for the last couple of seasons is the form of their strikers. Since Diego Costa left, Alvaro Morata, Olivier Giroud and Gonzalo Higuain have all had spells up front for the Blues. However, none of them have done enough to secure a spot in the side. Morata will likely seal a permanent deal to Atletico Madrid and Higuain has returned to Juventus following an unsuccessful loan spell at Stamford Bridge.

This leaves Giroud as the most senior striker at the club. Although he finished as the Europa League’s top scorer last season, his goalscoring record in the Premier League since joining Chelsea is less than impressive.

Michy Batshuayi will return to Stamford Bridge after his loan spell at Crystal Palace and he will stake a claim for the spot up front. Another option for Lampard is youngster Tammy Abraham, who scored 25 goals on loan at Aston Villa last season. His record might just have earned an opportunity to play in the Premier League for Chelsea.
