Chelsea duo Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard are reportedly edging closer to leaving Stamford Bridge.
Transfer speculation has surrounded the pair in recent months. However, Lampard claimed that he was committed to the former Premier League champions and Drogba is believed to be in negotiations over a new deal at the club.
Despite Blues manager Andre Villas-Boas claiming that both players have a future at the London side, it is thought that the Ivorian striker is considering a switch to Chinese club Dalian Aerbin, while the England international is offended at not being a regular starter, according to The Sun.
It is understood that Chelsea are refusing to give Drogba the two-year extension that he desires, which indicates that a move away from the club could be a possibility.
Lampard has 18 months left on his current contract at Stamford Bridge.
