Chelsea Transfers: Five Replacements For Frank Lampard

4. Miralem Pjanic

Pjanic According to The Mail Online Chelsea are lining up Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic as a replacement for Lampard, with the 22-year old Bosnian international thought to be rated at £14million. Pjanic has many skills, chief among them are his abilities to make technical passes and create opportunities for fellow teammates - does any of that sound similar to a certain Frank Lampard, perhaps? Not to draw too many comparisons between him and Lampard's "old guard" way of playing - Pjanic would fit in seamlessly with the new look Abramovic has going on at the Bridge alongside the likes of Hazard, Mata and Oscar to give a side once dubbed the pensioners a very, very trim new look. At just 23, he has the world ahead of him, too, and £14million is a snap. The exciting youngster has scored three times and provided four assists for Roma so far this season in 11 appearances Source(s): Daily Mail
