This is going to be a huge test for Lampard as a player that has been so prominent for Chelsea in the past and even played alongside Lampard is throwing his toys out of the pram.
David Luiz on Frank Lampard, July 9th:
"It’s great to see him here. He’s someone who knows what it means to be at Chelsea and understands the DNA of this club. We are working well so far, everyone is getting along and the sessions have been great."

Rumours are spreading that Lampard’s plan for next season doesn’t involve David as a key part of the team so he wants out.
It makes sense as he is entering the final few years of his career. Would he be a good fit at Arsenal as they look to strengthen their very shaky defence.
See it here:
