CHELSEA boss Frank Lampard is ready to beat London rivals Spurs and Arsenal and win the race to sign Dutch teen sensation Lamare Bogarde.
The nephew of former Holland and Chelsea defender Winston Bogarde is being pursued by a host of clubs after impressing for Feyenoord’s Under-17 team.
Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan, Juventus, Barcelona and Schalke have also been tracking the talented starlet.
However, it seems certain he will be sold to a Premier League club with bigger offers expected to come in.
Spurs scouts had run the rule over the Holland Under-16 international, before the coronavirus lockdown.
But now Lamps is ready to nip in and use the links with Lamare’s famous uncle to get him to move to Stamford Bridge, claim Football Insider.
The 16-year-old’s versatility appeals to the Blues boss.
His uncle Winston played for Chelsea for four years from 2000 before moving onto Barcelona.
And Lamare could now follow in his footsteps.
Chelsea’s reputation of bringing in teenage foreign talent and then loaning them back out is not thought to worry the youngster.
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta also fancies the teenager as he looks to build for the future.
