Frank Lampard hopeful of convincing out-of-contract Chelsea stars including Willian and Olivier Giroud to sign short-term extensions to finish the season at Stamford Bridge

Frank Lampard is determined to convince Chelsea's out-of-contract players to sign short-term extensions in order to see out the delayed Premier League season at Stamford Bridge.

Willian and Olivier Giroud are among the big-name stars whose existing deals expire on June 30, but new rules introduced due to the coronavirus pandemic will allow them to strike mutual deals to complete the campaign.

Premier League clubs are meeting again this week to discuss the next stage of Project Restart, with most Chelsea players expected to return to training at Cobham by the middle of next week.
