Frank Lampard reveals he wanted to sign Erling Haaland in his first stint but the Chelsea board turned it down
Frank Lampard revealed that he wanted to sign Erling Haaland from his first game but the Chelsea board refused.
Chelsea caretaker manager Frank Lampard has revealed that he was keen to sign Erling Haaland during his earlier stint at Stamford Bridge, but the club's board were not keen.
When Lampard was the official Chelsea manager, Haaland played for Borussia Dortmund, after leaving RB Salzburg in January 2020.
As it turned out, the Norwegian superstar stayed with Dortmund until the end of last season before moving to Manchester City. What he has done this season for Pep Guardiola's side is for people to see and admire. Frank Lampard revealed that he wanted to sign Erling Haaland from his first game but the Chelsea board refused.

Here's what Lampard said when asked about Haaland and how good he is (h/t Independent):
“I have a lot of respect for him as a player, he is the player I tried to bring back to Chelsea the first time I came here.
"I really wanted to bring him here, but obviously that couldn't happen. His level at the time was so obvious, we had him play in a pre-season game for him. Salzburg. "I think he's special, I think he'll adapt immediately just because of his level. I think given the level of the players and his scoring record, the first is in Austria, then for his country and in the Bundesliga - it's not an easy league - to get into a very good unit.
"From our point of view, where I pushed him, I don't know of any other place in the club that wants to do that. The rivalry is great to take him away because he's a player. in particular I think there is a buy-back clause at the moment which I think is quite reasonable considering the player (he joined Dortmund for around £17m). I don't have enough details to say how close it is.
Well, knowing that since Diego Costa's departure five years ago, Chelsea have struggled to sign a striker capable of consistently scoring more than 20 goals a season, getting Haaland would be nice.
Speaking of age 20, the former Salzburg marksman has surpassed the 40 mark in all competitions and is expected to cross the 50 mark before the end of his English football debut campaign. The number of records he has broken is simply insane.

What Chelsea have never lacked throughout the years is creating opportunities. It always felt like the team had to create five chances before someone put the ball in the net.
If they had Haaland, it would not only be his movements and physical presence that would frighten defenders, but his desire to score and his demanding passes or crosses into the box. will motivate other team members to participate in the match. as fast as possible. .
While this is only a flashback for now, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Chelsea will win a few more trophies and move closer to Manchester City in the league if Lampard's desire to sign Haaland is accepted.
