He said: “I think Lampard is an extraordinary player characterised by his shots on goal and the number of goals he scores.
“But when you look at our squad we are currently really well catered for in that department.
“We have got players like Deco, Xavi and Andres Iniesta who have similar characteristics as well as amazing ball control.
“At the moment we are really happy with our trio of midfielders.
“So as things stand there really isn’t space for another player of this type.”
