Leeds boss Monk urged to deal in Chelsea legend Lampard

Chelsea legend Frank Lampard is being tipped to sign for Leeds United.

A free agent since leaving New York City FC, Lampard has stated he's not yet retired.

And famed Daily Mail columnist Martin Samuel is urging Leeds to deal him in.

Samuel revealed: "Swansea came in for him recently, but he turned them down.

"Couldn't Leeds lean on a man like Lampard, even if it takes him a month to get fit? Wouldn't he be an asset in the last 10 minutes of a match that could decide their play-off fortunes?

"The level of Major League Soccer is similar to that of the Championship. If Lampard could make a limited success of the MLS, he could certainly hold his own outside the Premier League."
