Frank Lampard's sacking at Chelsea will put the spotlight back on the under-performing players at Stamford Bridge. Lampard, 42, leaves with the club ninth in the Premier League after last <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/kai-havertz-4-tammy-abraham-5-wilfrid-ndidi-and-james-maddison-8-chelsea-v-leicester-city-player-ratings-1.1149978">week's defeat at Leicester</a>, having won once in their past five league matches. Lampard did not sign any players during his first season as the club were operating under a transfer embargo, but spent more than £200m on seven signings last summer, including £45m on Leicester's Ben Chilwell and £71m on midfielder Kai Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen. It is the most Chelsea have spent in a single transfer window, topping the £186m at the start of the 2017-18 season. Lampard ultimately paid the price as his new recruits failed to inspire a title challenge, with Chelsea sitting ninth in the Premier League, 11 points behind leaders Manchester United. And while one of the club's new signings is earning the most wages – it might not be who you would expect. According to Spotrac, an online sports team and player contract website, Chilwell is making the most at Stamford Bridge, with a deal worth a tidy £9,880,000 a year, or £190,000 a week ($260,000).
