Despite there still being months left of the 2020/21 Premier League season, it appears that Chelsea are already planning for life beyond the end of the current campaign.

One of the biggest issues that Lampard has seemingly failed to deal with is that of his two biggest summer signings, Kai Havertz and Timo Werner, not living up to their star billing.

Despite being only 33 years of age, Nagelsmann is one of the most highly sought after coaches in Europe, and he may well jump at the chance of managing in the English top-flight.
