Bye bye Frank Lampard. Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has announced that he will leave the club after 13 years at Stamford Bridge. The 35-year-old England international, Chelsea's all-time leading scorer with 211 goals, was out of contract. He spent 13 seasons at Chelsea and made 648 appearances. During his time at Stamford Bridge, Lampard won the Premier League on three occasions to go with four FA Cups, two League Cups, a Champions League title and one Europa League.
He has yet to decide if he will retire, but has had offers from 16 other clubs - however, none will be considered until after the tournament in Brazil finishes. Over the past few weeks, Frank Lampard has been linked with a move to new MLS franchise New York City FC and reportedly held exploratory talks with them over the weekend. Nothing is confirm at the meantime.
In a statement, Lampard said: "When I arrived at this fantastic club 13 years ago I would never have believed that I would be fortunate enough to play so many games and enjoy sharing in so much success.This club has become part of my life and I have so many people to thank for the opportunity. Firstly, Ken Bates, who put his neck on the line to sign me as a young player and without him I would not have even begun this experience".
