Manchester City midfielder Frank Lampard has suggested that he could extend his stay at the Etihad Stadium by at least a month to February 2015.

The former Chelsea legend has delivered a number of impressive displays for the Premier League champions in the past few weeks since joining Manuel Pellegrini’s side on a short-term deal from new MLS franchise New York City FC.

“The temptation is to not get ahead of myself in my career. I am here until January 1, basically, so I will focus on that and see what happens then,” the 36-year-old told the Manchester Evening News.

“There has been a lot said about when the season starts, but the only thing that can decide my future is how well I am playing. They will be kicking me out in January if I don’t play very well!

“I am just looking game to game and trying to play as well as I can.”

Lampard has scored four goals in six appearances in all competitions for the Premier League champions.
