'We want them to stay' - Lampard hoping to have Willian and Pedro contribute despite contract uncertainty

The Blues boss has asked his two forwards to complete the campaign as his side battle for a top-four spot against the likes of Manchester United

Frank Lampard has no qualms about picking Willian or Pedro this weekend despite their contracts expiring just nine days after the away trip to Aston Villa.

Chelsea are currently locked in talks with the pair about temporary extensions to their contracts so they can finish the season in west London.

However, Pedro has reached a pre-contract arrangement with Italian giants Roma, which is leaving doubts about his availability for the upcoming matches.
