Frank Lampard has assured Chelsea fans he's ready to discuss a new contract with the top brass.

Lampard's current contract expires next summer and talks over a long-term extension were put on hold for the duration of last season.

But following Chelsea's dramatic penalty shoot-out heartbreak against Manchester United in the Champions League final on Wednesday night, Lampard is confident a deal can be agreed.

"I have got to talk to the club," said Lampard. "My contract has obviously been the last thing on my mind in the last six weeks, but I will sit down and talk with them after the England games.

"I hope we can come to a conclusion. I am pretty confident we can. I have said that many times before."
