NEW CHELSEA DEAL FOR FRANK LAMPARD!

If reports this afternoon are to be believed, Roman Abramovich has had a dramatic change of heart and has instructed the Chelsea board to open preliminary talks with Frank Lampard over a new deal to stay at the club beyond this season.

First Ashley Cole and now Frank Lampard and it's great news as far as I am concerned.

I know there are people out there who think that at 34 we should let him go at the end of the season and bring through someone younger into his position, but in my eyes, Lampard is still performing well enough at the top level, scoring goals and has kept his mouth shut and demonstrated exactly what he can still bring to this football team.

If Lampard was labouring through games, not being involved and struggling to perform then I understand the argument that some people have about him but surely like the club, you can see how much of an asset Frank Lampard is to our club now?

These are only reports that have appeared in the press so we have to be mindful of that. However, if the reports are true then it's a massive coup for the club!

First Ashley, now Frank who's next as Roman tries to build bridges with the supporters!? Could it be THIS MAN?
