Chelsea youngster Tariq Lamptey in talks with Lille over summer transfer after seeing first-team chances blocked – The Sun

LILLE are locked in talks with Chelsea youngster Tariq Lamptey about signing a deal to join them at the end of the season.

Lamptey, 19, is out of contract at Stamford Bridge this summer.

And the club have been desperately trying to tie him down to a new long-term contract.

The teenager made a huge impact when he came in for his senior debut in the 2-1 Premier League win at Arsenal in December.

And he has made two further appearances in the FA Cup as manager Frank Lampard tries to ease him into his squad.

But the full-back has resisted committing his future to the club in fear of seeing his chances of regular first team football blocked by Cesar Azpilicueta and Reece James.

And French club Lille have become serious contenders to land him when he becomes a free agent this summer.
