When asked when the new deal may be concluded, Frank said, "Soon I hope. My agent has been speaking to Peter Kenyon."
"I definitely want to sign and the club want to sign me I think. Hopefully, we will get it done by the start of the season."
Inter Milan were said to be interested in the England international, but Lampard wants to stay at Chelsea and win things, and is already looking forward to the season ahead.
