Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has made a firm move for Napoli attacker Dries Mertens - on social media!

Mertens is the first name on Chelsea's list and that the Blues boss has actually contacted the Belgium international to reveal his intentions for the upcoming transfer window, says Il Mattino.

The claims follow the revelation that Lampard has started following Mertens on Instagram, with the Chelsea manager's latest social media activity picked up by eagle-eyed fans, reports the Daily Express.

Lampard only follows 294 other users on the platform, despite boasting 4.1million followers himself.
