The Europa League winners confirmed on Thursday that the England midfielder
will remain at Stamford Bridge next season, where he has been since his move
from West Ham United in 2001.
After months of speculation over whether he would stay or go, the deal for
Lampard to continue at Chelsea
for a 13th season was announced the morning after he captained the club in
Wednesday night's Europa
League final win over Benfica in Amsterdam.
Lampard, who will be 35 next month, said: "I'm absolutely delighted.
Everybody knows I always maintained the dream was to stay at Chelsea.
"We've been talking for ages and even though it went on for quite a
period it was always amicable.
"I want to thank Mr Abramovich [Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich] for
everything he's done in making the dream a reality.
