FRANK LAMPARD has forked out more than £200million on new signings this summer.
The Chelsea boss now faces a race against time to sell his unwanted players before Monday’s deadline.

Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, Ben Chilwell, Hakim Ziyech, Thiago Silva and Edouard Mendy joined the Blues this summer.
And Lampard is still hopeful that his side can reach an agreement to sign Declan Rice from West Ham.
It’s been one way traffic at Stamford Bridge.
But Chelsea could push up to seven players overboard before Monday’s 11pm deadline.
SunSport have pulled together a list of the players that could be heading for the exit.
Kepa Arrizabalaga
A string of high profile mistakes from Kepa, 25, led to Lampard signing new No1 Mendy.
Chelsea want to offload the £71.6million Spaniard – who pockets a hefty £150,000-per-week.
But SunSport revealed the club cannot even find someone to take him on loan, let alone permanently.
Antonio Rudiger
Rudiger has attracted interest from Spurs after falling down the pecking order at Chelsea.
The German, 27, has not featured for the Blues yet this season.
The centre-back is prepared to leave the club if it means he will play regular first-team football.
Marcos Alonso
Alonso could leave Chelsea this week following a bust-up with Lampard.
The Blues boss was left fuming after the Spaniard watched the second half of the 3-3 draw with West Brom on the team bus after being subbed.
He is reportedly keen to end his Chelsea career to join Inter Milan.

Emerson Palmieri
Emerson, 26, looked to be on the brink of an £18million move to Inter Milan last month.
But Lampard’s decision to get rid of Alonso could result in him staying for the season.
Juventus also indicated their interest in signing the 26-year-old on a short-term deal earlier this summer.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek
Lampard believes Loftus-Cheek’s future lies at Stamford Bridge – but he’s prepared to send him out on loan.
The Blues are set to offer the England ace and Rudiger in a swap deal for West Ham star Rice.
Aston Villa and Southampton have also been linked to the 24-year-old midfielder.
Jorginho
Paris Saint-Germain have allegedly “established a connection” with Chelsea over a move for Jorginho.
But the French giants could face competition from Arsenal, who also want him.
The Italian, 28, has scored 10 goals in 100 games for Chelsea following his £50m move from Napoli in 2018.
Fikayo Tomori
Everton are hoping to land the defender on a season-long loan deal.
Reports claimed the 22-year-old was waiting for Chelsea to give him permission to leave.
But Kai Havertz is so convinced that Tomori is leaving that he’s already asked for his No29 shirt.
