Frank Lampard has promised Chelsea supporters that he will return to Stamford Bridge.

The midfielder has at long last joined up with New York City FC but found time to attend a supporters' event in the Big Apple earlier this week.

Despite his stint with rivals Manchester City last season, the rowdy Chelsea fans began chanting "we want our Frankie back" to the ex-Stamford Bridge hero.

They got the response they wanted, with the 37-year-old taking the microphone on stage to declare: "I'll be back."
