With rumours as to his future still flying thick and fast, Frank Lampard has unequivocally stated that he wants to stay at Chelsea forever.

The England midfielder has been linked countless times with both Barcelona and Juventus, not least after he called off talks over signing an extension to his Blues deal.

But speaking on Thursday, Lampard said he postponed negotiations purely to concentrate on his football and avoid being misquoted in the press.

"I just want to do one thing and that is stay at this club for the rest of my career," he told the London Evening Standard. "If a deal could be done tomorrow I'd be happy with that".
