Frank Lampard’s future at Chelsea has been a big topic for debate over the last few days following the club’s recent run of poor form.
The Blues’ 2-0 defeat at Leicester City on Tuesday left them eighth in the Premier League, eleven points behind table-topping Manchester United.
Lampard’s managerial ability has come under increasing scrutiny, with many pundits questioning whether he has the attributes needed to lead a club like Chelsea.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has now waded into the debate, urging Chelsea to give Lampard time to turn things around.
“I have known Frank for a few years, and I spent some time with him, and I would like the club to support him and give him a chance,” he told Reuters.
