‘It’s never been mentioned’: Chelsea boss Frank Lampard shoots down talk of signing Angel Gomes on a free with 19-year-old star's Manchester United deal up today

Frank Lampard has dismissed rumours linking Angel Gomes with a free transfer to Chelsea.

The highly-rated 19-year-old is out-of-contract today after failing to agree a renewal with Manchester United.

Reports on Monday suggested that Chelsea were set to swoop in to try and agree terms with the youngster by putting an attractive offer on the table, but Lampard shot down talk of Gomes moving to Stamford Bridge.
