Frank Lampard has confessed he is "thankful" he was able to play for Chelsea while the Blues were owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich.
While the club are currently still owned by the 55-year-old, it is thought he will sell amid the controversy that currently shrouds his reign due to his ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Abramovich helped provide the funds that made Chelsea one of the most successful clubs in recent history, with five Premier League titles and two Champions League the highlights of his honours list.
