Chelsea boss Frank Lampard looking to appoint Shay Given from Derby County

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is reportedly keen on bringing Derby County coach Shay Given to the Blues, amid concerns over the performances of goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Lampard reportedly wanted to bring the former goalkeeper to Stamford Bridge over the summer, but the Chelsea board instead wanted to appoint Henrique Hilario to the role.

Given remained at Derby, but the Mail report that Lampard is still keen on reuniting with him at the Blues.

With Kepa Arrizabalaga struggling for form this season, especially with set-pieces, Lampard wants to bring Given into the fold to potentially help improve the Spaniard’s play.

REad Chelsea’s verdict

Lampard seems to be a huge fan of Given, and he could be a huge help for Kepa, who has really struggled to deal with set pieces so far this season.

The ex-Irish international could be a shrew addition to the Chelsea backroom staff, especially as the Blues look to sort Kepa’s recent form out.
