Chelsea legend, Frank Lampard, has reacted to the Blues interest in signing Stoke City striker, Peter Crouch.
According to Lampard, it will be great to see the England international joining the Premier league champions.
“It’ll be interesting to see whether Chelsea do get Crouchy,” he told talkSPORT.
“I love Crouchy, he’s a great lad and what a move for him that would be!
“He’s a had a brilliant career, he’s a good lad and I think good things come to lads who are proper lads and I think Crouchy is one of them.
“If that opportunity comes for him and he goes there for six months, fair play to Crouchy.”
Lampard admits though the likes of Andy Carroll and Crouch are only short-term options for Chelsea.
“I think both of those players would be a short-term or Plan-B sort of signing, I don’t think we’re looking at either of those players in the long-term,” he added.
“No disrespect to them, because they are very good at what they do, but I don’t think Chelsea are going to be going down that route.
“There is obviously an issue with scoring goals recently, so they’re in a position where they need to something, but I think January is not the time.
“Maybe they are just trying to get themselves through to the summer and they’ll look forward from there.”
