Former-England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson is considering offering a contract to Chelsea legend Frank Lampard.
The Swede is currently coaching a team in China called, Guangzhou R & F, and he has recommended the English veteran to the club’s officials and he is keen to offer him a lucrative deal to join the Chinese side.
Lampard would become the third Chelsea player to exchange England for China, after Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka did it a couple of years ago.
In a recent interview, Eriksson admitted that he’s recommended the 35-year-old, and he believes he could be a real hit in China in he chooses to move abroad.
‘I have suggested to the club they take Frank Lampard,’ confirmed Eriksson. ‘He would be great in China, he is a football man, very proud and clever so if he thinks he can go on for another year or two, he will not go just for a holiday.
‘How many midfielders in the world have scored more goals than Lampard. He is still running, still scoring.
‘He is incredible and I am sure he’d be great around the camp. I have spoken to agents about it but the money is through the roof so I am not sure it can happen.’
It’s believed the veteran is also considering offers from Manchester City and also MLS sides.
