Chelsea 'will open talks over a possible £20m deal for Freiburg forward Luca Waldschmidt' with Frank Lampard keen to strengthen his attack

Chelsea are set to make a move for highly-rated German striker Luca Waldschmidt this summer, with a £20million move on the cards.

The Freiburg forward has scored five Bundesliga goals this season having missed two months with a knee injury, while he has been capped twice by the senior national team.

Those appearances follow a breakthrough tournament last summer at the European Under-21 Championship in Italy and Blues boss Frank Lampard could bring him to the Premier League, according to The Sun.
