Frank Lampard insists that his relationship with former club Chelsea "has not been broken", despite him running out for title rivals Manchester City this season.

Frank Lampard has insisted that moving to Manchester City earlier this season has not tarnished his legacy at former club Chelsea.

The ex-England international linked up with the Blues' big title rivals after being shown the exit at Stamford Bridge last summer, which left many supporters of Chelsea feeling somewhat betrayed.

Lampard is due to join Major League Soccer side New York City FC at the end of the season, and as he looks to bring down his glittering Premier League career on a high, the 36-year-old insists that his relationship with those inside his former club still remains as strong as ever.

"I had 13 years at Chelsea and I will always be a Chelsea boy because I played there and have so many memories," he told Channel 4. "They decided I was moving on and at 35 you are not going to fight that. If they want you to move on you move on.

"Then Manchester City came in for me. It was too good to turn down. At 36, not many people get asked to play for the champions of England at the time for five months.

"I have got such a great relationship with the Chelsea fans. It hasn't broken it. I still have my main house in Chelsea and I go back to London a lot, I hope I won't ever lose that, I don't think I will."

Lampard has appeared 30 times for City this season, scoring a total of seven goals in all competitions.
