Frank Lampard has revealed his frustration at the slow progress of talks over a new contract at Chelsea - but insists he has no intention of leaving.

The England midfielder, 28, has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge in recent weeks, amid suggestions he could be set for a summer transfer to Spain.

But the former West Ham United player has reiterated his commitment to the Barclays Premiership champions and claims he will stay for the remainder of his career.

He said: 'I want to stay at Chelsea. I have never wanted to leave the club and I don't intend to. I have everything I want in life where I am right now.

'For the past six years my life has been my family and Chelsea football club. Some players can say that and it sounds cliched or fake.

'I can say it because it is absolutely true. I am very proud I play for Chelsea and of what I have achieved as part of the team.'
