Chelsea boss Frank Lampard admits he'll soon have to consider new contract talks.

Lampard's current deal is about to enter it's final 18 months.

"In relation to my contract, time seems to have flown by while I have been here. I knew there were many circumstances in the beginning that would make last year a year of change and perhaps a little difficult," Lampard said.

"Now I feel like I would love to be a part of the long plan here.

"The transfers we made this summer, with the exception of Thiago Silva, were approaches with a view to the present and the future."
