Chelsea Transfers: £15million Serie A Star Is An Ideal Replacement For Frank Lampard

Inter Milan midfielder Fredy Guarin, has been linked with a move to the English capital with Chelsea seeking his services. According to the Express, Chelsea have enquired about the midfielder and negotiations over a £15million deal is believed to be at an advanced stage. Should they sign him?

To replace Frank Lampard

Frank Lampard has given Chelsea 12 amazing years of service. He has created cherished memories and became the idol of many fans. However, looking forward, it is time for the club to let go. While Frank’s contributions in shirt sales and goal scoring feats are undoubtedly crucial, keeping a 34 year old veteran at the club with a huge wage bill is a risk not many will take. Furthermore, the presence of other midfield talents around the world may prove to be more attractive and less expensive acquisitions.

Frank Lampard has worked his way up from being a new signing to arguably Chelsea’s best ever player. Although he can still have a say in how games turn out, he can motivate his side to victory, while his free kicks and shots from distance remain as lethal as ever. However, he is now 35 years old, and will be 36 by the start of next season, and he will not always be able to play, and although Chelsea have seemingly the largest collection of talented attacking midfielders in Europe, none of their current ensemble is quite like Lamps, though Guarin is almost a carbon copy of the England international. This means that Mourinho will not need to change his game plan, as he will just be able to make a like for like replacement, saving time and results. Chelsea fans may not like to admit it, but Guarin is younger and better than the former West Ham man and should fit in seamlessly.
