Renowned Derby fan Niall Horan delivers his verdict as Frank Lampard approaches Chelsea's work

Frank Lampard can not really refuse the job in Chelsea when he offers it to him this summer.

This is the verdict of Derby County celebrity fan, Niall Horan, who spoke of the prospect of the Rams' boss's departure to succeed Maurizio Sarri, who was confirmed Sunday as new director of Juventus after leaving Chelsea.

Lampard is the current favorite to be the next Chelsea manager, and former One Direction Horan's star has given his verdict on the possibility of a return of the Blues legend to Stamford. Bridge.

Talk to talkSPORT Before Soccer Aid 2019, Horan said, "It's a sad prospect. You can not really refuse the job in Chelsea, is not it?

"I do not think Chelsea fans would be upset when he came back, but if he leaves, Derby will really miss him.

"I have been a fan of Derby since I was a kid, and I have not seen anything like what he has done for the club since Jim Smith in the early 2000s.

"If you've seen it at Wembley, I've never seen a group of fans wait like that after a final. He received an ovation and you can not ask for more.

"We'll see what happens next season, but if we can spend a few pounds, maybe we'll be there or again.

"Frank is a good friend to me and it's amazing to think that one of my friends runs my youth club and can talk to him about it.

"If he comes here, he'll be welcomed with open arms, is not it?

"We would like someone to be young again, I think. We have a good mix of young and old, and it would be a shame to see that get lost. "
