Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino may have next Frank Lampard and John Terry

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino believes that he could have the next Frank Lampard and John Terry-like characters within his young squad. The Blues have spent huge this summer transfer window bringing in the likes of Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia and Christopher Nkunku, but have yet to hit form under new boss Pochettino. The Blues have been planning for the future with none of their 12 new arrivals over the age of 25 and five of them teenagers. Chelsea’s youngsters are yet to gel suffering defeat against West Ham and Nottingham Forest in their opening four games. Pochettino says that while he may have the next Lampard and Terry in his squad they need time to develop. He sees the project as a different one to previous jobs at Tottenham and Southampton. ‘That is a different project,’ said Pochettino after criticism from ex-Blues goalkeeper Asmir Begovic who said the Argentine has no world-class players in his group. ‘A different circumstance. “And now we cannot compare with the past. I think it’s not fair. It’s a different Chelsea. Today maybe we have the potential of Lampard or Terry or Drogba but still, they are young. They need to prove they have this potential. Chelsea in the past is about winning. We need to accelerate all the processes because Chelsea is still about winning. We want to win. :  Chelsea axe big earner from Premier League squad after leaving Pochettino embarrassed Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino (Image: Getty) ‘But the process is completely different than in the past. Because the club has a different approach and philosophy. We have a young squad. We have very talented players who need time to perform. We need to take care how we evolve and how we develop.’ Pochettino want his young side to play with more aggression, which the former Argentina international says he had – as a less talented player. He added: ‘I was really, really naughty… the worst! I was the most competitive – but without the quality that we have in this team. Chelsea legends John Terry (left) and Frank Lampard (Image: Getty)
