Blues legend joins New York City FC
Chelsea legend Frank Lampard has been confirmed as a new signing for MLS franchise New York City FC, BBC Sport reports.
The veteran midfielder is Chelsea’s all-time leading scorer after a glittering career at Stamford Bridge, but will now embark upon a new challenge in the US after signing a two-year contract with the team.
Lampard’s Chelsea contract expired at the end of last season, and he explained that he is excited to be making the move to New York, saying: “New York ticks all the right boxes for me. It’s very exciting. Chelsea will always have a huge place in my heart, but it’s now a new challenge. I had a fantastic 13 years there and can look back at that with pride, but it was a great time for me and Chelsea to move on.”
