5 Reasons Why Sami Khedira Is Right To Choose Chelsea Over Arsenal
4. The Chance To Step Into Frank Lampard's Shoes
After winning the Champions League with Real Madrid and the World Cup with Germany, the next challenge in Sami Khedira's career is to step into the shoes of a veteran and become a Chelsea legend. Frank Lampard has left the Blues this summer following 13 glorious seasons at Stamford Bridge and there is suddenly a vacancy in the Blues's engine room. With David Luiz also departing for Paris Saint-Germain, there is a real opportunity for Khedira to step into the breach and make the defensive midfield role his own at the west London club, and cement himself as a fan favourite much like his predecessors did. Khedira has done it all during his short career - he's won league titles in two different countries and won the World Cup - the most prestigious honour on the international stage. His next mission is to form part of a new-look Chelsea midfield next season as the Londoners enter a new era under these uncertain post-Frank Lampard days.
