Lamps wants star arrivals
Chelsea, 13:19, June 5, 2009 ,
Frank Lampard says Chelsea need to go on a spending spree and hopes they can swoop for Franck Ribery and David Villa.
New boss Carlo Ancelotti is expected to spend big this summer as Chelsea go in search of Premiership and Champions League glory next season and a host of world-class players are being linked.
Both Ribery and Villa have been linked and Lampard believes they are the kind of players Chelsea need to bring in if they are to challenge for top honours.
"Looking at us this season, we've got a strong squad and good players but maybe we do need a little edge," he revealed. "That's what John (Terry) is saying when he mentions Ribery and Villa.
"We need maybe that edge, someone who can produce something for us, as a wide man or a creative midfield player, and someone as a striker who can work with (Didier) Drogba or (Nicolas) Anelka.
"We want to push on again. It's up to the club to decide, and to what level we are going to add to the squad and make it better, but it seems our intentions are to really push on this summer and add that couple of players who can make us really top drawer. Those two players (Ribery and Villa) are fantastic players. Any team would want them."
