Chelsea Transfers: 5 Replacements For Frank Lampard

4. Christian Eriksen

The 21-year old Ajax midfielder is considered one of the finest young talents in Europe today and has been tracked by the likes of Liverpool and Tottenham in recent months. According to a recent report in the Express, Chelsea dispatched scouts to watch the Danish national play for his country against Bulgaria recently as the Blues step up their pursuits for a replacement to Lampard. In his short career he has already helped guide current side Ajax to back-to-back Eredivisie championships with the side also on the brink of a third successive crown. However, he has since refused to sign a new contract, sparking speculation as to his next career move. The youngster is set to trigger a bidding war in the summer and Chelsea must be chief among those vying for his signature.
