The UK Mirror reports that Chelsea are confident of signing Manchester United starlet, Angel Gomes.
Gomes’ agent, Pini Zahavi, is believed to have held talks with Marina Granovskaia, Blues transfer chief.
The 19-year-old’s current deal with United runs out next month and he has turned down a £30,000-a-week offer.
United remain hopeful of tying the midfielder down to a new contract, but Gomes is demanding regular first-team football, after just six first-team appearances for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side this season.
Lampard remains a massive advocate of promoting youth at Stamford Bridge, with the likes of Mason Mount, Fikayo Tomori and Reece James having all benefited from his philosophy.
In 2018 Gomes captained England U-19s to World Cup success and only last month suggested he wanted to stay at United and win trophies.
