Frank Lampard agrees Chelsea contract, official announcement seemingly imminent

It’s that time of the month, where Telegraph journalist Matt Law gives us the run down on everything that’s going on down at Cobham.

This one’s a Frank Lampard special edition…

It’s claimed in his report that the former Chelsea midfielder has already agreed a contract which will see him return to his beloved Blues as manager.

Lampard is believed to have reached an agreement on Monday, putting an end to the best part of a month’s worth of constant speculation.

The former club vice-captain will become Maurizio Sarri’s successor, more than two weeks after the Italian’s move to Juventus was confirmed.

Lampard arrives in time for the start of Chelsea’s pre-season campaign, which will give him a proper opportunity to assess his squad and the returning loanees.

A new era is set to begin at Stamford Bridge, with a club legend the face of it. There’ll scarcely be a Chelsea fan out there without a smile on their face when this is officially announced.
