The West London club are currently third in the Premier League table two points behind leaders Tottenham Hotspur – with four win from eight appearances.
Lampard’s side finished fourth last campaign, however, will be hopeful of a closer run at the title following a summer in which the likes of Tiago Silva, Ben Chilwell, Timo Werner, Kai Havertz and Hakim Zyech at Stamford Bridge.
Hasselbaink believes the Blues are close to a serious title race, however, has urged his former team to secure services of a defender – either Milan Skriniar of Caglar Soyuncu and attacking minded midfielder as well.
He told Ladbrokes: ‘A lot of people are talking about Kalidou Koulibaly but he’s 29 years old and would be very expensive.
‘I actually quite like the Leicester defender, Caglar Soyuncu. I think he’d be very good at Chelsea.
Also the defender at Inter Milan, Milan Skriniar – everybody is talking about him, another very good player. ‘So there are players out there, but it’s such a difficult position to fill at the moment.’
