Premier League: 10 Great Players Soon To Be Out Of Contract

10. Frank Lampard

frank lampard The most obvious and the one everybody is talking about is, of course, Chelsea's Frank Lampard. Reportedly told on more than one occasion that he won't be offered a new contract at his current club, he continues to prove his worth to a faultering Chelsea team, and yet no contract has yet been signed. With only Joe Hart coming between Lampard and his 200th goal for Chelsea, the England midfielder has been in great goalscoring form despite being a less-than-favourite of interim manager Rafael Benitez. But despite his current contributions to the team, it seems more and more likely that he will be playing away from Stamford Bridge next season. Although you can understand a club's desire to implement a more youthful setup, Sir Alex Ferguson has proven that if you handle them in the right way, as he has with Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes, then the more experienced players still have a lot to offer even as they near the 40-year-old mark. There doesn't seem to be any doubt that, should Chelsea have a change of heart, Lampard would be keen to commit to the European Champions for at least another year. But if not, then there are plenty of team's that would be extremely eager to snap up one of the Premiership's greatest ever midfielders - possibly even one of Chelsea's rivals.
