Chelsea should be aiming for Premier League title after transfer spree but Lampard can handle expectations, says Poyet

Frank Lampard is perfectly well equipped to deal with the increased expectations on Chelsea this season following their summer transfer spree, says former Blues midfielder Gus Poyet.

Chelsea have already signed Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech, with more signings still expected.

Ben Chilwell is close to completing a £50 million ($65m) move from Leicester while the £90m ($118m) deal to sign Kai Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen is also moving forward.
