New Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari claims Frank Lampard has told him he wants to stay at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues released a statement on Tuesday morning revealing they had received an official approach from Inter Milan for the England midfielder, and also claimed that they had turned it down flat.

But after meeting his players for the first time on Monday Scolari told Chelsea TV: "I met Frank Lampard and we spoke for 15 minutes, and after this, when we finished, I was very happy because I asked if he wants to stay and he said 'yes, I (will) stay at Chelsea'."
