Lampard wants contract sorted

FRANK LAMPARD insists that he wants to stay on at Chelsea for the rest of his career — but has called on the club to resolve talks over his future before the European Championships.

Lampard says talks over a new long-term deal have hit some “snags”, with the 25-year-old midfielder understood to be seeking equal wages with some of the club’s recent high-profile signings.

Given those circumstances, it is hardly surprising that the likes of Inter Milan have shown interest in the runner-up in the Premiership player of the season poll.
