The 28-year-old was linked with a Leicester City transfer last summer as a replacement for Harry Maguire who had left the Foxes for Manchester United in an £80m deal which is a record for a defender in football history.

Lampard wants a new striker and a new central defender for which Lewis Dunk is his priority.
It was revealed that Brighton have been contacted over a transfer but the Seagulls are unlikely to do a deal for one of their best players as they fight for survival in the Premier League.
