Chelsea icon Lampard: What I'd tell Terry about MLS...

Chelsea legend Frank Lampard says he hasn't spoken to John Terry about his next move.

Terry reportedly has offers from a handful of Premier League teams, as well as Birmingham and Aston Villa, while a move to China or America is also an option for the 36-year-old.

"I haven't spoken to him, I'm not in the position to give advice because for me these decisions are completely personal," Lampard said.

"I know when I had my decisions to make late on in my career, they're the toughest ones I had to make because it's easy when you're 25 and you get offered contracts to go places you want to be for five years.

"It changes when you get older. For John it's not just football it's a family matter and it's your body and how you feel about everything.

"All I would say generally is if he still has a desire and feels he's ready to play on, then play on because you are a long time retired."

Lampard left Chelsea in 2014 to join New York City before returning to England for a season on loan at Manchester City.

The former England midfielder said if Terry asked about playing in Major League Soccer, he would give a glowing recommendation.

"If someone like John Terry is thinking of playing there, and any other players, I would only have great things to say about it," Lampard said.

"Go there and play, the way of life over there is brilliant, most stadiums are selling out week in week out. It's growing fast so I would only have positive things to say."
