Fiorentina chief likes Lampard

TEAMtalk :    Fiorentina president Mario Cognigni would love to sign Frank Lampard, saying he “is a player I have always liked”.

Reports in Italy have claimed that the Florence outfit have joined the chase for Lampard – who is free to talk to foreign clubs with his Chelsea deal due to expire in the summer.

The likes of Los Angeles Galaxy, Monaco and Juventus have all been linked with Lampard in recent weeks, whilst clubs from across Asia are also said to be keen on securing his signature.

But now Fiorentina could be ready to offer him a deal to move to Tuscany in the summer.
