Ousmane Dembele who is currently on the books of Spanish giants Barcelona is now being wanted by Premier League side Chelsea as Lampard is trying to bolster his squad again.
Before the start of the ongoing Premier League season, Frank Lampard was supported by Chelsea chiefs to bring in some big legs to Stamford Bridge.
But despite the huge amount of money spent by the club, Chelsea have been struggling so far this term in the Premier League.
According to the report on UK Sun, Barcelona chiefs are ready to sell Ousmane Dembele with the player himself said not to be interested in contract talks.
The 23-year-old has also been wanted by the Blues' Premier League rivals Liverpool and Manchester United in the past.
Dembele has since made 19 appearances, scoring six goals but his future remains in doubt.
He joined the LaLiga giants in 2017 in a £110million big deal acting as a replacement for Neymar who moved to French champions Paris Saint-Germain.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Fikayo Tomori finally settled his future before the end of the January transfer window as he joined Serie A giants AC Milan.
The 23-year-old signed a six-month loan deal with an option to buy for £26million based on performances.
The England international has struggled to break into Frank Lampard's squad all season and has joined the Rossoneri to revive his international career.
He has even been dropped from the pecking order in Lampard's squad where Kurt Zouma, Andreas Christensen, Antonio Rudiger and Thiago Silva have moved ahead of him.
Tomori broke into Gareth Southgates' squad following his 22 appearances for the Blues in the first half of last season.
Also, Legit reported how with the way things are going Chelsea could finish in a disappointing position at the end of the 2020-21 season despite spending over £200million on transfers.
The Blues were recently beaten by Leicester City at the King Power Stadium which saw them slide even further to eighth on the Premier League table.
Frank Lampard's men are now nine points off the top team and have one of their lowest points totals at the halfway stage in the history of the topflight division.
