José Giménez Needs to Be Frank Lampard's Top Defensive Priority This Summer

You might not have noticed, but all aspects of Chelsea's defence this season have been...less than ideal. We all know about the struggles of goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, but it's important to remember that his defence in front of him have been about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

Everyone's favourite yo-yo club, or a 'Fahrstuhlmannschaft' as the Germans like to put it, are up into the top tier with a new look side and a fresh sense of optimism.
