, Frank Lampard is eager to sign Chelsea forward Jesse Derry to Coventry City on loan in advance of the upcoming season.
After their first promotion back to the Premier League since 2001, Coventry only needs one more point from their last four Championship matches to guarantee their position.
With the 18-year-old Derry rising as a target, Lampard is rumored to be organizing an early squad reinforcement in preparation for the move.
The son of former Crystal Palace and QPR midfielder Shaun Derry, the Chelsea academy forward has already played twice for the senior team in the FA Cup this year.
Additionally, he has excelled at the youth level, recording five goals in eight games in the UEFA Youth League and six goals and three assists in seventeen Premier League 2 contests.
