Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has confirmed he will leave
the club this summer after 13 years at Stamford Bridge. The 35-year-old, who
scored a club record 211 goals during his time in West London, has not been
offered a new deal by Jose Mourinho and will join Ashley Cole in leaving the
Blue.
The English international made 648 appearances for the Blues
after moving from West Ham United in 2001, scoring a club record 211 goals, but
manager Jose Mourinho has chosen not to offer the veteran a new deal.
He said:
"Roman Abramovich, the man who saved our Club and took
us all to new levels. His desire to push the Club to the top of the football
world has rubbed off on everyone.
"All the managers and coaches who have helped me
develop my game during the time I have been here. I have learnt from every one
of them.
"The club will move forward and as a Chelsea man I have
no doubt that with the quality of the players that are there, they will
continue with the success that we have all enjoyed over the past seasons.
"Thank you for the memories and keep making
history!"
Chelsea would surely miss him.
