Lampard ‘certain’ to leave

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard is “certain” to leave Stamford Bridge and could move to Serie A, according to his agent.

The 34-year-old’s contract expires in the summer and his representatives do not expect the European champions to offer the England international an extension.

Lampard consequently looks set to have the pick of future employers and he can hold talks with foreign clubs from now as he approaches the end of his Chelsea deal.
