David Villa has delivered a message of gratitude to former New York City FC teammate Frank Lampard.
Lampard recently announced his decision to leave NYCFC and the midfielder's presence will surely be missed by the MLS outfit.
Lampard's former colleague Villa has gone on to speak about his relationship with the Chelsea legend and has thanked him for his contribution to New York City over the last two seasons.
Villa told Sky Sports News HQ: "I want to say thank you to Frank for giving us a lot of experience.
"He played very well for NYCFC and, of course, the club have taken a decision looking forward.
"We can only say thank you to Frank for helping us in the locker room and on the field. He is a great person, a great professional and he's in the history of NYCFC."
