Chelsea FC quit plan denied by Frank Lampard's agent following kit snub

Chelsea's decision to overlook Frank Lampard for a promotional photoshoot will have no significance on his future at the club, according to the midfielder's agent.

    Lampard, who is out of contract at the end of the season and is believed to be a summer transfer target for a number of clubs from around the world, was not part of a campaign to promote the Blues' Adidas kit.

But agent Steve Kutner has called the event, which saw a number of Chelsea players covered in blue paint, "demeaning", and insists he had no plans to let his client be part of it.

Kutner, who insisted Lampard would have been unavailable for the photoshoot due to family commitments, said: "I wouldn’t have allowed Frank to take part in any case.

"Covering him in paint would have been demeaning."

LA Galaxy are known to be keen on signing the England international, while Juventus and PSG are also believed to be monitoring developments at Stamford Bridge.
