 Lampard has won two Premiership titles with Chelsea |
Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has reiterated his desire to stay with the Premiership champions for the rest of his playing career. The 28-year-old England star was linked with Spanish club Barcelona in 2005.
However, when asked by BBC Five Live's Sportsweek programme whether he would like to end his career at Chelsea, Lampard said: "I think so, I hope so.
"I'm very happy at the moment. I'm so lucky to be at a club where I have such a great relationship with everyone."
 | I see myself being here for a long time |
Lampard has three years left on the five-year deal he signed in the summer of 2004.
"We have real potential to be successful as long as hopefully I'm playing football and that is my aim," added Lampard.
And asked whether he would like to play Spain, Lampard said: "I don't have that desire at the moment.
"When I came to Chelsea it was such a big thing for me in my career.
"I have done so well at Chelsea. A lot of that is down to me working hard but it also what is around me at Chelsea - the team-mates, the fans, the club - and I respect that and it has become a real part of me.
"I see myself being here for a long time."
