‘Lampard knows £200m spend will dictate future’ – Chelsea boss backed by Hiddink to deliver on expectation

Frank Lampard knows that a £200 million ($274m) spend at Chelsea will determine whether or not he remains at the helm, says Guus Hiddink, with the Blues boss in a results business that requires him to deliver on expectation.

A Blues legend was eased into life back at Stamford Bridge following his appointment as successor to Maurizio Sarri in the summer of 2019.

He was handed the reins with a transfer embargo in place, preventing him from bolstering the ranks in west London, and with faith having to be shown in home-grown stars.
