Chelsea coach denies interest in Gomes and is tight-lipped about West Ham’s Declan Rice except to say he ‘is a good player’
30 June 2020 - 17:43London — Frank Lampard says Chelsea have not made a bid for free agent Angel Gomes and the manager is tight-lipped over a link with West Ham midfielder Declan Rice.
Chelsea have been linked with a swoop for the England under-20s star, but Blues boss Lampard rejected any interest out of hand. Asked if Chelsea had made a bid for Gomes, Lampard told a media conference: “Yes, I can elaborate to the point that it’s never been mentioned at my end, so that’s it.
“Declan Rice is a good player, you’re right, and I’ve known Declan Rice for a long time, as he was in the Chelsea academy, but there’s no talk,” said Lampard. Lampard has deployed France World Cup-winner N’Golo Kante in a more defensive position since the restart but said he remained hugely important to the side.
