Agent certain over Lampard exit
The agent of veteran Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard believes that his client will definitely leave Stamford Bridge when his contract expires in the summer.
The 34-year-old England international has yet to be offered a new deal by the Blues after more than a decade with the club and Steve Kutner thinks that a parting of the ways will happen in a few months' time.
He told the Daily Mirror: "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 to stay at the club after the end of this season.
"Nothing since has changed in any respect.
"Frank has had to accept that and just wants to carry on playing football for Chelsea, so as to finish the season as successfully as possible for the club that he loves."
Lampard had earlier stated after scoring in the 5-1 FA Cup third round win at Southampton: "I am enjoying my football, I have to say. I am enjoying the moment.
"I know there is a lot of talking going around, but I am actually really enjoying playing."
Chelsea are back in action on Wednesday night when they play host to Swansea City in the first leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final.
