CHELSEA are weighing up a move for Bordeaux forward Josh Maja as Frank Lampard wants to add more competition for Tammy Abraham.

Maja, 20, left Sunderland for France in January  after rejecting a new deal and has impressed the Chelsea boss who is looking to bolster his attacking options.

Although the youngster has only started five matches in Ligue 1, he has still managed to net five times – including a hat-trick against Nimes – to help his side move up to seventh in the table.

The Blues are looking to add to their forward line as they have had their transfer ban lifted, meaning Lampard could have a busy January.

Abraham has been in fine form this season, scoring 11 goals in the Premier League, but the Chelsea boss is keen to add to his squad with Olivier Giroud expected to leave when the transfer window opens.

Chelsea currently occupy fourth place in the table but have lost three of their last four league fixtures, the latest being a 1-0 defeat at home to Bournemouth on Saturday.
