Chelsea boss Lampard cautions against 'knee-jerk reaction' signings in January

The Blues have failed to progress any talks during the transfer window thus far and their manager insists he is comfortable with the status quo

Frank Lampard is ready to compete for a spot in next season's Champions League without any January signings if he has to, and has warned the club against 'knee-jerk' additions.

Chelsea were able to get FIFA's transfer ban halved through the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), but they have struggled to make progress in any talks.

The January transfer market has been difficult for all Premier League clubs with just 12 deals completed across the league, five of which have been loans.
