LAMPARD SIGNS NEW FIVE YEAR DEAL
Posted on: Wed 13 Aug 2008

Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce today (Wednesday, August 13) that Frank Lampard has signed a new five year contract.


The new deal will keep Lampard at the club until the end of the 2013-14 season.


Lampard said: 'I want to finish my career at Chelsea. It is something I've said many times and after signing this contract I am very happy and positive I will finish as a player here. I want to be a big part of the next five years and hopefully more for Chelsea.


'It has taken a while to get the deal done and there has been a bit of compromise on both sides but I am delighted we have managed to get there.


'The Chelsea fans have been great to me and I want to repay them for their support. I am very confident that I can maintain a very high level of performance for the next five years. I am really looking forward to the new season under the new manager and with our new players and the current squad there is a great feeling we can build on the successes of the last few years.'


Luiz Felipe Scolari said: 'I am delighted that Frank has committed his future to the club. He is a key player for me and vital to Chelsea's future successes. Frank is one of the best professionals I have worked with. Every day he tries to learn something and bring new elements to his game.'


Lampard signed for Chelsea in the summer of 2001, and is the latest player to commit his long term future to Chelsea this summer after Petr Cech, Michael Essien and Wayne Bridge all put pen to paper on new contracts.


Chelsea Chief Executive Peter Kenyon said: 'It is great news for Chelsea that Frank has signed for the next five years. He is a key member of our team and has been instrumental along with others in our success in the last five years.


'His record of appearances and goals is unparalleled for a midfielder. Being a top English player as well is important to us. We have a significant English element to our squad and that is a central part of our philosophy for the club.


'We are very confident Frank can stay at the top level for the next 5 years. It's taken us a bit of time to get an agreement so this is a real boost going into the new season and with Felipe coming in there is a really positive atmosphere surrounding the club.'


The midfielder has scored 110 goals in 369 appearances at the club, including 71 in 247 league games.


At present, Lampard is Chelsea's seventh top scorer of all time, the only midfielder in the top ten, and also the only player in his position to have scored four goals in a match for the Blues, a feat he achieved in March at home to Derby County.

HOPES HIGH FOR ROBINHO
Posted on: Wed 27 Aug 2008

Peter Kenyon has reaffirmed his optimism that Brazilian international Robinho will sign for Chelsea before Monday's closing of the transfer window.

Speaking today [Wednesday] at the launch of Chelsea's Corporate Social Responsibility report, the chief executive said:

'We are ever confident that it [the deal for Robinho] will get done but we have always said it will go to the wire.

'We will keep moving it on and we hope that he will be joining us here at Chelsea.'

Kenyon first announced the Real Madrid player was a transfer target during the summer tour of China.

'There were two players Luiz Felipe Scolari identified,' he said today, 'one was Deco and one as Robinho and we have already seen the impact Deco has already made on the Premier league.

'I think the squad is strong and capable of competing in all competitions without Robinho but with him, it is an added dimension.'
