Frank Lampard tried to sign Erling Haaland before the striker’s Manchester City move
Former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has claimed he tried to sign Haaland when he was still at Chelsea
is breaking Premier League records left and right as he did when he was at Dortmund but Lampard claims he tried to sign the Norwegian goal scoring machine when he was still at Salzburg.
"[Haaland] is an amazing player and the ultimate top-level players generally can do what he does in a top level league,"
Lampard told reporters.
"I coached against him in a pre-season game when he was playing for Salzburg. I tried to sign him for Chelsea and it was not to be.
"It was clear in our pre-match preparation what this boy was. Fair play to him. We are going against him and I respect those at the top of their game. I watched the World Cup final with [Kylian] Mbappe and [Lionel] Messi and Haaland has got himself in that bracket at a very young age."
This would be the last news
Chelseafans want to hear as their struggle to find a prolific striker in the past several seasons is exactly why they haven’t challenged for the title in the Premier League.
While Lampard himself should also be worried since Everton’s run of 4 consecutive winless matches could as easily turn to 5 as they prepare to face Manchester City next.
