Lampard reveals Pickford and Gordon ‘close’ to signing new deals

 was once again England’s number-one goalkeeper in a major tournament during the World Cup and the 21-year-old forward

has been linked heavily with Chelsea in recent months.

Ahead of Monday's Premier League clash with Wolves, Lampard revealed that both players are close to signing new contracts.

"We're in a situation where we want them to stay, and they want to stay – that's always been the feeling – so we are very close,"

Lampard said.

"I don't want to speak for him, but Jordan feels very happy at this club. That's the impression I get. We are a huge club with a big history and big ambition, and he is a big part of that.

"Maybe, I was fortunate to play in the Champions League a lot, but when I felt comfortable at a club, I came in with a smile on my face every day and I looked forward to every game.

"If Jordan feels like that, and we can match each other's ambitions, I don't see that as a problem."

Defender Conor Coady joined

from Wolves on a loan deal last summer and Lampard wants to make this transfer a permanent deal. Coady is ineligible to play against his former team Wolves.

"Conor has been brilliant since he's been here in every possible way,"

Lampard added.

 "I would like to make that permanent at some point. That's not happening right now, but we will keep looking at that one.

"Conor and Jordan are great because they are low maintenance. It will have hurt them – as it did the whole nation – to leave the tournament because we felt we were doing well.

"There's not much worse than that moment [when you go out]. But the beauty of this tournament being in mid-season is that they come straight back to their clubs and the Premier League, and they know how highly we regard them.

"Obviously, Conor can't play on Monday, but they've come back with a really good attitude."
