Chasing the ball in a circle, the West Londoners' manager was too quick for Bakayoko - who saw his touch intercepted by his gaffer.

Chelsea fans loved the effort Lamps put in, with one even calling for the 41-year-old to be announced as player-manager.

One said: "Super Frankie Lampard."

Another said: "Announce Lampard as player manager."

Blues fans were not surprised it was Frenchman Bakayoko caught in possession.

The ex-Monaco man failed to impress during pre-season and remains on a potential transfer casualty this summer.

Bakayoko spent last season on loan at AC Milan, who remain interested in signing the 24-year-old this summer.

 

French champions PSG, along with Turkish giants Galatasaray, are also monitoring the midfielder.

However, the Frenchman reportedly saw a return back to Monaco on loan blocked by Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia with fears the club Monaco are not “big enough” for the 25-year-old to showcase true value.

It comes after £40million flop Danny Drinkwater was offloaded to Burnley on a season-long loan.
