But he is due to take his transfer business past £200million as he closes in on a club record deal for 21-year-old Kai Havertz.

The playmaker left Germany’s Nations League squad to allow him to finish off the final stages of his £90m move.

But according to The Telegraph, Lampard is still in the market for a stopper and defence-minded midfielder.

SunSport revealed under-fire Kepa Arrizabalaga will fight for his place at Stamford Bridge, but it will not stop the club from bringing in competition.

Lampard sees the England international as a potential solution for his defensive problems.

But having played in front of the backline most of his senior career, opposed to centre-back, Rice could be contender for Chelsea’s packed midfield.

The Blues are yet to bid for the West Ham favourite, but it is understood the Hammers rate him as high as £80m.
