Former Chelsea star hopes to get a contract extension at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard has revealed his desire to remain at Stamford Bridge as he has 18 moths off his current contract with the Blues.

The England star in a statement disclosed he is hopeful of getting a contract extension so as to help the Blues win titles with the current team he has been able to build.

Lampard has done quite well this season bringing quality players in the summer who have all done well in the the Premier League.

The Blues have a 15-game unbeaten run in all competitions this season and are considered a serious contender in the Champions League.

“In terms of my contract, time seems to have flown by and I’ve got 18 months left,” Lampard told reporters.

“I felt it when I came to the club, I knew there were a lot of circumstances at the beginning that were going to make last year transitional and maybe slightly difficult.

“I felt like I took the job in a different position to most recent Chelsea managers. I think people sympathise with that as well. Now, I feel like I would love to be part of the long-term plan here.

“The signings we made in the summer, other than probably Thiago [Silva] particularly, were signings for now and the future, players that are going to progress and who will mature, and, of course, I would love to be part of that.

“Of course, that’s the club’s decision and the owner’s decision first and foremost, so I have to get on with the short term which starts with Leeds tomorrow. But I don’t think anybody would expect me to say anything else.

“I’m a lucky man to be managing the club that I love and is my life. So, of course, I want to make a success of it and be here as long as I can.”
