Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is adamant his young players are good enough.
The transfer ban means the fresh Chelsea faces in the squad who will head north are youngsters, most of whom have come through our Academy. Lampard is excited at what the likes of Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham, Fikayo Tomori and Reece James can offer his squad this season.
"I don't know what their ambitions are but I know the talent they have," stressed Lampard ahead of Sunday's clash with Manchester United.
"I love working with them, training with them, I love them as lads because they're very driven and they're like sponges on the training pitch. They bring enthusiasm and quality to training every day, which gives great balance to our squad.
"Youth is an important part of our squad. It's not everything, for sure we need the experience and players who have been around the block a bit, but I am expectant. That's not to put too much on their shoulders, it's just what I see every day. That door has to be open for them, and they have to open the door and walk through it. Let's see them do it."
