Chelsea boss Frank Lampard wants to strength “in attacking areas” because his team “need to be more clinical”. The Blues can bolster their squad this month after their transfer ban was lifted, with reports suggesting they have a budget of £150million at their disposal.
“I wouldn’t say ‘a goalscorer’ but we need to be more clinical in the box in terms of our front line,” added Lampard.
“When we attack and spend a lot of time around the opposition’s box, we have chipped in with some goals from midfield and have people who can arrive from midfield.
“But the broader reality is that we need more goals from the front line.”
Chelsea have until January 31 to conclude any transfer business.

Villa, though, are hoping they can convince the 33-year-old to stay in the Premier League following the injury to Wesley.
