Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley has been heavily linked with a move to West Ham United during the current transfer window.
All throughout this week, there have been reports that Hammers boss David Moyes wants to bring in Ross Barkley to the London Stadium on a short-term loan deal until the end of the season and some rumours had also claimed that West Ham have already approached Chelsea for the transfer.
But now though, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has made it pretty clear that he is not willing to part ways with the midfielder his month especially when he’s started upping his game.
Apart from Ross Barkley there have also been reports about Willian possibly moving out of the club in January but thankfully, Lampard has also shut the door to that rumour.
But while talking about the players who will be staying at Stamford Bridge, the Chelsea boss also made it clear that Olivier Giroud could very well sign for a new club before the transfer window shuts down.
Frank Lampard said in his press conference: ‘There is no talk here of Ross Barkley going anywhere. He is our player. He has played the last couple of games and done very well.
‘There have been certain circumstances why Ross hasn’t featured as much this year, but I have a lot of faith in him. That was news I heard like everyone else this week, and no feeling towards it.
‘Olivier Giroud we know there may be something that could happen. The good thing about Oli is that he’s so experienced. I have a really good relationship with him, as do the club, so if all circumstances are right that may happen, but it’s not, so while it’s not he’s our player.
‘Willian is not going anywhere. We know his contract is up at the end of the season, he’s in conversation with the club, which are still ongoing.
‘There is no news on that but he’s certainly our player now.’
