Terry tells Chelsea to sort out Lampard before start of the new season

John Terry wants Chelsea to resolve the issue of Frank Lampard's future and prevent the saga from becoming a distraction at the start of the new season.

Lampard has been linked with a move to join his old boss Jose Mourinho at Inter Milan having failed to agree a new contract with Chelsea.

But the Daily Mirror have reported that club captain Terry hopes a deal can be reached while the club are on a tour of Asia.

After arriving in China Terry said: 'I'm very good friends with Frank and we have spoken about it.

'The players all want him to stay, but it's down to Frank and the club to sort it out. We're here to focus on the football, but hopefully while he's here, the club can sort it out.'
