Lampard could stay at City

Frank Lampard hasn’t dismissed the possibility of an extension to his loan period at Manchester City.

The former England and Chelsea midfielder has made a strong impact at the Etihad Stadium since joining from sister club New York City until the end of the year.

The 36 year old's form has led to speculation his spell at City could be extended by at least a month, until February.

Lampard himself says he has not given the issue much consideration: "The temptation is to not get ahead of myself. I am here until January 1, so I will focus on that and see what happens.”

Lampard signed for New York, who enter Major League Soccer in 2015, after being released by Chelsea at the end of last season. The opportunity subsequently arose for a short–term spell at City to maintain fitness ahead of the next season in the United States.
