Frank Lampard has revealed that he tried to sign Jude Bellingham whilst at Chelsea but club chiefs were reluctant to pay his asking price at the time.
Bellingham, 20, has been a sensation since swapping Borussia Dortmund for Real Madrid this summer in a deal worth up to £113million.
The Birmingham City academy graduate has scored 13 goals in his 14 appearances thus far, as he continues to go from strength to strength in his playing career.
However, things could have been very different for Bellingham, who was supposedly a target for Chelsea during the early years of his career.
