Manuel Pellegrini hopeful of Frank Lampard stay

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini is hopeful that the club can agree a deal to extend Frank Lampard’s loan spell from New York City FC.
The 36-year-old joined the Citizens on an initial six-month deal from the newly-formed MLS franchise, and the former England international has proved an astute signing with a series of impressive performances for the club.
Pellegrini has admitted that he would like to extend Lampard’s stay beyond the end of the month, but has conceded that a deal could be hard to complete, considering all the parties involved.

He told Sky Sports News: “Before December finishes we will have a decision but, as I repeat, I think Frank is a very important player for us and I hope we will not have any problems for him to stay here
