<p>Uruguay international Cavani has handed in an official transfer request, with Atletico Madrid waiting in the wings to recruit the 32-year-old.</p>
<p>Chelsea are able to make January signings after their two-window FIFA transfer ban was lifted by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), and Lampard has not dampened down any links to Cavani.</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">Asked whether he had any interest in the player, Lampard said: “<i>He’s a great player; I played against him and I always loved his mentality and attitude, and obviously his goalscoring record speaks for itself.</i></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><i>“I’m not absolutely aware of what the situation is, so we’ll see. He’s an experienced player, but so are many other players out there.</i></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><i>“I think we are young, and we know about the transitions. The idea of bringing in experience is something I’m certainly not absolutely looking away from.</i></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><i>“Because sometimes the young players need a little bit of help, and if that’s the case then that may help us.”</i></p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Lampard starts with an update on Reece James, who has an injury to the back of his knee area. It&#39;s not as bad as first feared and he is in contention for tomorrow&#39;s game.

<p>Sporting director Leonardo confirmed Cavani’s transfer request on Sunday, with the 116-cap forward’s availability likely to spark a transfer scramble across Europe.</p>
<p>Cavani has struck just three goals in 13 appearances in all competitions for PSG, but his pedigree and experience could offer Chelsea a strong alternative to in-form England striker Tammy Abraham.</p>
<p>Chelsea bossed possession and territory at Newcastle but ended up losing 1-0 in Saturday’s Premier League clash, leaving Lampard again frustrated by his side’s lacklustre finishing.</p>
<div class="ad-container">But the former England midfielder insisted drawing another blank in front of goal does not quicken the Blues’ need for new recruits.</div>

<p>Reece James is a doubt for Tuesday’s Premier League clash with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge after sustaining a knee problem at Newcastle. But Lampard revealed the young full-back has avoided any serious injury.</p>
<p>“<i>He’s got an injury to the back of his knee area, but it’s not as bad as it could have been or we maybe first thought,” </i>said Lampard.</p>
<p>“<i>He’s in contention for tomorrow but it will be a tight call to see how it settles down in the next 24 hours.”</i></p>
<p>Asked if he had feared the worst when James picked up the issue at St James’ Park, Lampard added:<i> “Yeah, a little bit, because he had injuries at the start of the season. But now it seems it’s not as bad as it could have been.</i></p>
<p><i>“I won’t absolutely count my chickens but hopefully he’ll be okay for tomorrow, and if not, then the weekend.”</i></p>
