Chelsea have been given permission to hold talks with Frank Lampard by Derby ahead of his proposed summer move. The 41-year-old is imminently expected to take over from Maurizio Sarri at Stamford Bridge. In a statement, Derby revealed the news, saying: “Derby County Football Club can confirm that they have granted permission for Chelsea Football Club to speak to Frank Lampard about the vacant managerial position at Stamford Bridge. With pre-season fast approaching for both clubs, it is hoped this will allow Chelsea to swiftly conclude their discussions. The club will make no further comment until it is appropriate to do so.” Lampard generally operated with a 4-3-3 system at Derby last season, but he will use a 4-2-3-1 formation, according to The Mirror. Fiyako Tomori excelled under Lampard at Derby. Mason Mount a free reign to make runs from deep and support the attack from central midfielder last year at Derby.
