Frank Lampard insists Jude Bellingham should be a Chelsea player.
The Real Madrid midfielder is now regarded as the best young player in the world.
And Lampard says he could've been signed from Birmingham City for 20m. But he could not convince Chelsea to cough up.
"When I coached Chelsea (the first time) I was desperate to bring in Jude Bellingham," he told the Obi One Podcast.
"But I couldn't get it through upstairs (management) - the idea of paying 20m for someone his age (at the time)"
Bellingham was 17 when he left Birmingham for Borussia Dortmund.
