Frank Lampard expressed his willingness to lead Chelsea, reports The Guardian.
According to the source, a 40-year-old specialist is interested in working with the London team if an agreement is found with his current Derby club.
It is expected that Derby will require four million pounds in compensation.
Chelsea will enter into talks with Derby this week.
At the end of the season, Chelsea finished third in the Premier League and won the Europa League, but Maurizio Sarri decided to leave the club and lead Juventus.
