He believes that, despite the club initially not wanting to give the veteran English star another deal at Stamford Bridge, his recent goal-scoring form has forced them to reconsider their position on the matter.

And he hopes that Lampard, who has been a brilliant ambassador for Chelsea throughout some negative times for the team, is rewarded with an extension to his current contract.
