The Nigeria international's contract expires in the summer and he is yet to be offered a new deal. Mikel, 29, is considering his future at Stamford Bridge and insists he will start talking to other clubs in January if things don't change under manager Antonio Conte.

Lampard, 38, left Chelsea for New York City FC in 2014 and despite a slow start to life with his new club, has enjoyed a good run of form - scoring 15 goals this year.
