Lampard names ace who can be like new signing for Chelsea

Frank Lampard believes Ruben Loftus-Cheek can make an impact at Chelsea next season he will be like a new signing for the club. Loftus-Cheek has been sidelined for the majority of the current campaign with an Achilles injury. He is now back to full fitness and looking to make up for lost time. He made his first start after the coronavirus shutdown during Chelsea's 1-0 win over Norwich. Asked if a fully-fit Loftus-Cheek will be like a new signing, Lampard said: "I hope so. It's difficult for Ruben right now, because of how long he's had out, because of the stop-start of lockdown and the restart. But he's worked really hard to get where he is right now. In terms of his body and his fitness, we have to give him a little bit of credit and time. "These games now, he started against Norwich, he's made little impacts along the way. It may look like that for him in these next few games. But what I want is a Ruben firing straight out the blocks for pre-season and next season." Loftus-Cheek suffered a serious Achilles injury during a post-season friendly at the end of last season. "I know the talent he has, I know what he can bring us," said Lampard when asked about Loftus-Cheek. "It's very individual. It's different from what the rest of the squad bring for us, his physicality and touch on the ball. Those minutes will do him really good." Source: Express
