'I'm ready to play my part': Frank Lampard welcomes collaborative talks with Todd Boehly and Co over their vision for Chelsea's future after returning as caretaker boss... while refusing to rule out taking the full-time job despite his role being 'clear

Frank Lampard is ready to play a part in the 'collaborative' vision for Chelsea's future held by the club's owners as he prepares to lead the team through the final weeks of the season.

The 44-year-old was appointed as interim boss in place of Graham Potter who was sacked on Sunday just 31 games into a five-year contract.

Chelsea are 11th in the Premier League and, despite spending more than £500million since Todd Boehly's Clearlake Capital consortium took control in May, have scored fewer goals than any side in the division's top half.
