Frank Lampard has signed a one-year contract to stay at Chelsea, the day after the club won the Europa League.

The England midfielder’s existing deal was due to expire at the end of this season.

“I’m absolutely delighted. Everybody knows I always maintained the dream to stay,” the 34-year-old said.

“I want to thank Mr Abramovich for making the dream a reality. I love this club, the staff, the players and especially the supporters.”

Lampard became the club’s all-time leading scorer last week, overtaking Bobby Tambling’s 202-goal record.
