Chelsea Transfer News: Antonio Conte made mistake selling star- Lampard
That is the view of pundit and Chelsea legend Frank Lampard, who thinks Chalobah could have been a key part of the Blues’ first-team squad this season.
The former England under-21 international completed a permanent switch to Watford last month for an undisclosed fee, with some reports claiming it to be worth £6million.
It has been a turbulent summer for Conte at Chelsea and he saw his nine-man side suffer a shock 3-2 defeat to Burnley in their first Premier League game of the season yesterday.
The Italian manager named a number of youngsters on the bench and gave 20-year-old academy graduate Jeremie Boga his first league start for Chelsea.
