Frank Lampard says that Chelsea will look into extending the deals of Olivier Giroud, Pedro and Willian if the 2019-20 campaign resumes.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has revealed that the club will look into extending the deals of Olivier Giroud, Pedro and Willian if the 2019-20 campaign is allowed to resume.

All three players will be out of contract at the end of June, and the trio have been continually been linked with moves away from the club over the last few weeks.

Giroud, Pedro and Willian were all on the scoresheet in Chelsea's last match - a 4-0 win over Everton - though, and Lampard has said that he would want the three players on board if the campaign restarts.

"It is still uncertain if and when play will get underway. We have big players [out of contract] so that's something I'm obviously looking at very carefully," Lampard told Sky Sports News. "The ones who are out of contract here have been great servants for the club, and actually have a lot of feeling for the club.

"Of course they'll be concerned about themselves, in terms of how training is now is and if the pre-season is a rush they're going to have to make sure they're alright.

"So it's going to have to be something we have to look at, hopefully we can make that arrangement can be made so they can stay with us. I would love the squad to look as it has all season, but we'll have to see how that works."

Chelsea are currently fourth in the Premier League table, three points clear of fifth-placed Manchester United with nine games left.
