Former Blues star Joe Cole hopes the club will continue to show faith in a promising academy graduate who remains in talks over a new contract
Chelsea have been warned against bringing in a big-money striker by Joe Cole, with the Blues urged to keep faith with Tammy Abraham and ensure that his development is not stunted.
Frank Lampard took the decision to trust youth upon inheriting the managerial reins at Stamford Bridge last summer as he looked to contend with a two-window transfer ban.
That has since been lifted, freeing Lampard to spend in January if the right targets can be identified.
