LONDON: Chelsea have told Frank Lampard’s agent that the England midfielder will not be offered a new contract with the European champions at the end of the Premier League season, media reported yesterday.
“Chelsea executives told Frank in Japan during the Club World Cup, then again reconfirmed with me after the Everton victory, that in no circumstances will he be offered a new contract at the club,” Lampard’s agent Steve Kutner told the Daily Mirror.
“Nothing since has changed in any respect.”
Lampard, 34, scored both goals against Everton in a 2-1 league win late last month and Chelsea fans have chanted ‘Sign him up’ throughout recent matches.
The midfielder became Chelsea’s joint second highest goal-scorer of all time on Saturday when he converted a penalty in a 5-1 FA Cup third round victory at Southampton. REUTERS
