Lampard is the overwhelming favourite to replace Maurizio Sarri at Stamford Bridge following the Italian’s departure to Juventus. The legendary Chelsea midfielder has had just one season in management, leading Derby County to the Championship play-off final where they lost to Aston Villa. Despite his inexperience, Redknapp is confident Lampard will do a good job at the Blues. But he wants him to use two of the club’s academy graduates in Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount in the first-team squad. “I think it would be a major surprise if he doesn’t get the job,” Redknapp told talkSPORT. “It looks to me as though it will happen. It would be brilliant for him. “A shame for Derby as Mel Morris gave him the opportunity there and he’s done a great job. “But it’s a great move; he’s absolutely idolised at Chelsea – a genuine legend there. Trending “He knows the game, he knows what it’s about, he’s got a touch of class… it will be great. “He has a squad there that for sure will finish top six. “I see them next season finishing, at the best, third, probably fourth; around where they were last season. “But it’s going to be tougher as they’ve lost their best player, but it might be a great opportunity to give these kids a game. “They win everything at Under-16, Under-18, and Under-21 tournaments, let’s see them play. Throw them in. “Tammy Abraham has been out on loan at Aston Villa and did fantastic in the Championship. “The boy Mount [who] Frank had at Derby… let’s see them play.”
