Chelsea: Lampard says he has 'belief' despite Liverpool loss
Chelsea will launch an official bid for Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz in the coming days. The Blues are ready for a busy summer transfer window. Chelsea have already signed Hakim Ziyech from Ajax, while RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner has also agreed to join.
"Going back to how important goalkeepers are, I look at this Chelsea team and there’s a lot I like about it, it does remind me in a lot of ways the position Jurgen Klopp was in a couple of years ago.
"He’s done as much as he can, yes Frank’s still in his early stages but those big signings can completely transform you as a team.

"I still think Chelsea need a defender, you see how many goals they’ve conceded. I think a lot of that is down to the goalkeeper being totally honest."
Chelsea, who are battling to finish in the top four this season, have conceded more goals than any other side in the top half of the Premier League.
And Carragher says Chelsea won't catch Liverpool or Manchester City if they don't sort out their defence.
"You see a lot of centre halves at Chelsea without seeing one really outstanding one, those are the areas that if they are going to challenge Liverpool and Man City they’ll have to rectify in the summer," he added.
"They are the worst team in the league defending corners. This is a massive problem for Chelsea.
"Yes [Timo] Werner is coming in and the lad from Ajax, there is talk of Havertz as well.
"It sounds great and it gets supporters excited but it means nothing if you don’t sort out that back three and certainly that goalkeeper."
Chelsea face Wolves on Sunday in the final day of the Premier League season.
