N’Golo Kante flew into Dublin yesterday with Kepa Arrizabalaga, Ross Barkley and Olivier Giroud to join up with the squad’s pre-season training camp.

Kante, 28, will discover too how he can fit into Lamps’ plans — after Maurizio Sarri played him out of position last season.

Blues face Bohemians Wednesday night and boss Lampard has been boosted by Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s new five-year deal.

He hopes wing sensation Callum Hudson-Odoi will sign up next with talks progressing well.

Lampard is only in his first week in the job having signed a three-year deal at Stamford Bridge.

He said: "I am immensely proud to be returning to Chelsea as head coach.

"Everyone knows my love for this club and the history we have shared, however, my sole focus is on the job in hand and preparing for the season ahead."

"I am here to work hard, bring further success to the club and I cannot wait to get started."
