Lampard has been warned he risks being axed as Chelsea manager if the club fails to challenge for titles next season after the club's summer spending spree.
The addition of veteran defender Thiago Silva is also expected to bolster Chelsea's defence following the west London side's dreadful defensive record last summer.
West Ham midfielder Declan Rice is the other player who could complete a switch to Chelsea before the transfer window shuts.
The signings are expected to provide Lampard with a new-look Chelsea side that can rival Liverpool and Man City for the Premier League title.
Legit.ng earlier reported that Manchester United hero Gary Neville has backed the club to finish above Chelsea and champions Liverpool next season.
United sealed a third-place slot last season despite a slow start to the 2019/20 campaign to qualify for Champions League.
Despite the relatively impressive finish, the Red Devils had a massive 33 points separating them and eventual title-winners Liverpool.
However, Neville has tipped his former side to narrow the gap between them and their arch-rivals to finish in second place in the upcoming campaign right behind Man City.
