Lampard, who has signed a two-year deal with his new club, made 649 appearances for Chelsea since signing from West Ham in 2001. He has played 106 times for England, scoring 29 goals.

He signed a one-year contract extension with the Blues in May 2013 after mulling over a move to Los Angeles Galaxy, who he will now play in opposition from next spring.

New York City FC sporting director Claudio Reyna said Lampard was 'one of the greatest players over the last 15 years' and ;ticked all the boxes' in terms of a signing.

The move appealed to Lampard, too.
