Frank Lampard has laughed off speculation linking him to the England job - even though his Everton contract only runs until the end of next season.
The Blues boss has heard nothing about an extension on the deal he signed at the end of January, which was a surprisingly short two-and-a-half years, given the size of the task he faces at Goodison. Yet Lampard is adamant he is consumed by the work he has to do at the Merseyside club - and happy in his job of making Everton competitive again.
Asked about the strong links with the England role, should Gareth Southgate leave after the World Cup, he replied firmly: “I’m very, very happy here and I have got a lot of work to do. I’m trying to help us improve and get us towards the new stadium and all those things. It’s not in my thinking at all.”
