Lampard denies new signings unsettling Chelsea as manager seeks 'consistency' in fragile back four

Frank Lampard insists that the signings of £47.5 million ($60m) RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner and £37m ($46.7m) Ajax playmaker Hakim Ziyech shouldn't unsettle Chelsea's current group after seeing his side suffer another setback away at Sheffield United.

The Blues lost 3-0 at Bramall Lane on the same day that Ziyech was pictured in Chelsea's training kit at Cobham Training Centre as excitement grows over the west London club's transfer activity.

Along with the two signings already completed the Blues look set to do further business, with £90m-rated ($114m) Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz and Leicester City Ben Chilwell in their sights.
