Frank Lampard has denied Chelsea have offered a contract to Manchester United midfielder Angel Gomes.<\/p>\n
Gomes will become a free agent on Tuesday after failing to agree a contract extension at United<\/a> and reports had suggested Chelsea were ready to offer the 19-year-old a lucrative deal at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n Lampard has hit back those reports and says he’s never discussed signing Gomes, who made his debut for United in 2017 aged just 16.<\/p>\n “I can elaborate to the point that it’s never been mentioned on my end. That’s it,” said Lampard.<\/p>\n Chelsea travel to face London rivals West Ham on Wednesday, live on Sky Sports<\/em>, and could potentially go third with a win – if Leicester drop points at Everton.<\/p>\n Chelsea have been linked with a move for Hammers midfielder Declan Rice <\/a>but Lampard has refused to confirm if the club are interested in the England international.<\/p>\n “Declan Rice is a good player. I’ve known him for a long time, he was in Chelsea’s academy but there’s no talk,” he said.<\/p>\n “I’ll keep saying it about every player that we’ll be asked about until this season is finished – there’s nothing to say.”<\/p>\n Lampard could be without Christian Pulisic and Andreas Christensen for the trip to the London Stadium.<\/p>\n Pulisic was substituted in the second half of Sunday’s 1-0 FA Cup quarter-final win at Leicester <\/a>, while Christensen is still a doubt after missing the match with a hip problem.<\/p>\n “Christian (Pulisic) felt a bit of tightness in his calf just as he came off against Leicester, so we’re managing him but I haven’t got an answer yet,” said Lampard.<\/p>\n “It feels a bit better than it did at the end of the game so we’ll see by tomorrow.<\/p>\n “Andreas Christensen, likewise, is in the squad but we’ll have to see but with another 24 hours because of the tight turnaround.”<\/p>\n Chelsea recently extended the contracts of Willian and Pedro until the end of the season<\/a>, with their previous deals due to expire at the end of June.<\/p>\n Pedro will join Roma on a two-year deal at the campaign<\/a> but the long-term future of Willian is yet to be decided.<\/p>\n The Brazilian has admitted it is “unlikely” he will sign a new contract with Chelsea<\/a> beyond the summer but Lampard says the club remains in talks with the winger.<\/p>\n “We’ve still got ongoing conversations with him. I’ve got no clarity on that yet but we will continue to talk,” Lampard told Sky Sports News.<\/em><\/p>\n “He knows what I think of him as a player. He’s been very, very good for me this year. I played with him, I know him very well. It’s a very honest and open conversation.<\/p>\n “I understand that he has options and that is something that has to be taken seriously, particularly at this stage of his career.”<\/p>\n Tags:<\/b> Sky News<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n\n![\"Gomes](\"https:\/\/e0.365dm.com\/20\/05\/768x432\/skysports-angel-angel-gomes_4989970.jpg?20200514082006\")
