Arsenal and Chelsea missing a Diego Costa, says Blues legend Lampard

Those at Stamford Bridge have struggled without a two-time Premier League title winner this season, says the former Chelsea star

Chelsea may be missing Diego Costa this season but Arsenal are also paying the price for failing to land a player of his ilk, says Frank Lampard.

The Blues rather surprisingly took the decision to part with a two-time Premier League title winner in 2017, with Antonio Conte opting to freeze the Spain international out of his plans.

In the wake of his return to Atletico Madrid, those at Stamford Bridge have struggled to build on their past successes – with Alvaro Morata struggling to fill some big boots.
