GUANGZHOU, China, July 24 (AFP): Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari insisted Frank Lampard was staying with Chelsea as reports broke that the club was set to make the midfielder Britain's highest paid footballer.

"Frank is staying with us. Finished," Scolari said.

The Brazilian said speculation was to be expected during the summer transfer window, but attempted to lay the matter to rest. "I said two days ago that Frank is here with us, training and playing very well as part of our group," he said.
