Timo Werner netted after just four minutes for the Blues, but Hakim Ziyech was forced off with a knee injury – although in an update, Frank Lampard doesn’t believe it is ‘that bad’.
Get all the latest transfer gossip and updates from Stamford Bridge…
TROPHIES AND CHILDREN
Frank Lampard is right that he spent 50 million pounds in Leicester City and England’s left-back Ben Chilwell.
The manager explained: “With Ben Chilwell, he’s a player I know very well, lately he’s been England’s first-choice left-back.
“Great qualities in which you can participate, is athletic, your physique, your game and the quality of your left foot.
“Then, for us, in terms of how you can help on the left side, in attack and in defense, which of course is above all else, I am extremely happy to paint with it, so I think it’s a wonderful addition.
DO NOT DO
Antonio Conte to attack former Chelsea by Olivier Giroud.
Tuttosport says the Frenchman could go to Inter Milan to upgrade to Lautaro Martínez.
Timo Werner is expected to be Chelsea’s top striker this season and Giroud may be tempted by the offer of regular football.
To try
It seems that Kai Havertz in Chelsea is over.
If Frank Lampard can get a top-notch goalie, did the Blues win this play window?

BUY EXCHANGE
Samuel Umtiti allegedly introduced himself to Lyon in exchange for Memphis Depay.
Tancredi Palmeri says Ronald Koeman will bring his former Dutch winger to the Camp Nou this summer.
And that means that Umtiti, who has been connected with Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal this summer, can return to his old betting box in Lyon.
LOOK AND WERN
In case you missed it, here is Timo Werner’s first purpose for Chelsea.
The £47million summer signing from RB Leipzig needed less than four minutes to get off the mark in Saturday’s 1-1 friendly draw at Brighton.
And having looted 34 targets last season, it will take a brave user to bet against Werner getting numbers at Stamford Bridge.

MEN GO BLUE
Chlesea is a finalist in the signing of Ajax star Amourricho van Axel Dongen.
The Telegraph claims Chelsea is Man Utd and City in the race for the 15-year-old.
The Dutchman has represented his country 3 times in the under-16 category, scoring once.
And he’s already made his debut for Ajax under the age of 18, three years ahead of his age group.
Van Axel Dongen, however, is more of a regular under-17, scoring seven goals in nine games from the left wing.
The wide player has been the captain of the progression side.
ROM FOR MORE
Everton is a play for Manchester United goalkeeper Sergio Romero.
The Mirror claims Jordan Pickford could be fired by the Argentine, who will be the third selected at Old Trafford next season after Dean Henderson returns from Sheffield United.
Romero has been linked to Chelsea.
FANTASTIC
Frank Lampard thought it smart to have a following at the stadium on Saturday.
He said: “It made an impact for sure.
“We hope to get to this level as soon as possible, we have to be in front of our own fans and for the Chelsea fans at the Bridge.”
“But of course it has to be the first, but it was a smart test.”
UNDERSTANDING SILVA
Frank Lampard shared his thing about the new boy Thiago Silva.
He said: “With Thiago Silva, we look at a player I know very well, as we all do.
“It brings us a lot of experience, plays at an incredibly higher level, as we saw in the Champions League final and the matches to the top.”
“So I hope you come and bring that, bring your experience, your leadership and your qualities.
“This is going to be very good for us.”
ARTIST AGAINST
Conor Gallagher will most likely be available for another era of lending for the 2020/21 season.
The 20-year-old has spent this season in the league with Charlton Athletic and Swansea City.
He has created five goals in 10 games for the Swans.
West Brom is interested in it and Birmingham Live says a possible deal may be anything they review this summer.
DUTCH COURAGE
Chelsea are in pole position to point to Ajax star Amourricho van Axel Dongen, according to reports.
The 15-year-old has already passed through Manchester United and City.
According to The Telegraph, Les Bleus would love to announce this summer.
Van Axel Dongen has won rave reviews for Ajax’s under-18 squad this season.
I CAN’T HAKER
Frank Lampard is sure that Hakim Ziyech “is not too serious” after being fired in opposition to Brighton.
He said: “They gave him a little kick in the knee, a little twist that we are going to evaluate.
“I hope it’s not so bad.”
After appearing on one knee while awkwardly twisting from the sideline, he limped off the field.
Fantastic
Frank Lampard thought it smart to have a following at the stadium on Saturday.
He said: “It has had an impact.
“We hope to get to this level as soon as possible, we have to be in front of our own fans and for the Chelsea fans at Bridge.
“But of course, it has to be safe first and foremost but it was a nice test.”
BLUES CRUISE
Here’s what the start of the season looks like for Frank Lampard’s teamArray.
‘DARK HORSES’
Danny Murphy has tipped Arsenal to challenge Chelsea and United for the top four next season – as long as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sticks around and the signings come good.
Writing for the Mail, he said: “If you can upload a few more signatures, I think Arsenal can be a black horse for the four most sensitive.
“As it is, they would cause disorder to the groups but, no matter how much they have run, sometimes they are still vulnerable.
“Willian is a wonderful signing, with his enthusiasm and his winning mentality. Gabriel Magalhaes, Lille’s central defender, is almost over the line.
“If they get the transfer of Dani Ceballos – their most productive player at the end of last season – and point out Thomas Partey of Atletico Madrid, who would give them tenacity and physicality in midfield, I think they have a team to challenge Chelsea and Manchester United for champions.
“Again, none of this will do much unless Aubameyang puts a pen on the paper.”
Child
The boss has to trust Ben Chilwell for Chelsea.
Frank Lampard said: “With Ben Chilwell he is a player I know very well, lately he has been the left-back of England’s first team.
“Great qualities in the way he participates, he is athletic, his physique, his playing and the quality of his left foot.
“So for us, in terms of how he can help on the left side, on offense and defense, which of course is first and foremost, I am extremely happy to ride with him, so I think he is a wonderful addition.
TALKING TO FRANK
Frank Lampard has praised new boys Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech following the win over Brighton.
Speaking on the Chelsea club’s website, he said: “I think Timo was smart and brilliant.
“He achieved his purpose very early in the game, he showed qualities that I know very well, so I am very excited to have him on the team.
“I envision his paint speed and everything in him as a wonderful start for him and Hakim Ziyech.”
BEING FRANK
Frank Lampard significantly wants his Chelsea look this season to avoid being fired, Tony Cascarino has said.
Speaking on talkSport, the former Blues player said: “Frank will be fully aware that getting this investment there is another challenge now.
“He will know that the wait will only be to qualify for the Champions League.
“That’s the expectation from last summer, and if they were successful with a motion embargo, that’s an advantage.”
Before adding: “It puts more pressure and Frank will know it, but if he meets his expectations and his goals, he will be Chelsea’s manager next year.”
ENOUGH HUD?
Tammy Abraham trolled Callum Hudson-Odoi for his “help” Brighton.
After the ball crashed into the box, the forward incorrectly timed his head and the ball smashed him against the look of the face.
He fell into the path of Werner, who passed his effort over Mat Ryan.
After the game, Abraham left a cheeky comment on his Instagram post.
WAIT AND ZIY
Frank Lampard has posted a message about Hakim Ziyech’s injury, following the club’s 1-1 draw at Brighton at Amex.
Chelsea’s wrote that: “After the game, Lampard described it as a little knee twist that will want to be evaluated.”
Chelsea will face Brighton in the same venue on Monday 14 September when their Premier League crusade begins and Lampard will be hopeful that the Moroccan is worthy of that.
AUBA AND IN
Mikel Arteta has revealed that he believes Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang “convinced him to stay” with Arsenal.
He then added: “My task is to check to convince you that you are in the right position at the right time,” Arteta told BBC Radio Five Live.
“I think they gave it to us and then we have to do the documents and it takes a little time.”
GOOD MORNING CHELSEA FANS
Blues fans have been drooling over the prospect of Timo Werner hitting on purpose next season.
The £ 48 million signing took less than 4 minutes to score in his debut in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Brighton.
New kid Hakim Ziyech also showed his quality by betting a very good pass to identify the goal.
But it ended on a sour note when the midfielder limped with a knee injury in the middle of the moment.
Chelsea’s doctor took no chances, as the physical therapists helped Ziyech as he left the Amex field.
Lampard later told Chelsea that Ziyech suffered “a slight twist to his knee that will want to be evaluated.”
Meanwhile, Chelsea can still make three more signings this summer despite their huge spending.
West Ham midfielder Declan Rice remains a key target for Frank Lampard with Kai Havertz.
And the boss is still a new goalkeeper with Andre Onana as an option.
But the newcomers will also mean departures and Tammy Abraham could be sacrificed with Aston Villa interested.
GIAN-BLEU-IGI
Chelsea are aiming for a move through AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to update Kepa Arrizabalaga’s failure, according to reports.
Frank Lampard is desperate to upgrade the goalkeeper of 71.6 million pounds after a terrible 2019-20.
And he reports that the Blues are set to continue their sensational £ 45 million spend on the Italian after contacting agent Mino Raiola.
Chelsea has already seen Dean Henderson, Andre Onana, Jan Oblak and Edouard Mendy.
Henderson signed a new five-year contract with Manchester United, while the Onana and Oblak deals were unsuccessful.
TAM TO MOVE IN?
Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham is wanted by Aston Villa as he faces a major fight for his long career in West London.
The Blues signed Timo Werner after marking Bundesliga seasons with RB Leipzig.
And Frank Lampard will reportedly bring the exciting German Kai Havertz of Bayer Leverkusen for £90 million.
Having also signed Hakim Ziyech from Ajax, Lampard could adopt a new dynamic for his front next season.
And Olivier Giroud signed a new contract with the club at the end of last season and ended Abraham’s favorite campaign.
THREE PER CROWD
Chelsea can still make THREE more transfers this summer despite their huge spending.
The Blues have already bought this window from Ben Chilwell (£ 50 million), Timo Werner (£ 48 million) and Hakim Ziyech (£ 36 million).
Kai Havertz is the top target, with the £90m-rated Bayer Leverkusen star expected to be confirmed at Stamford Bridge imminently.
West Ham’s Declan Rice is also in the works, while Lampard is still behind a goalkeeper.
