Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has no regrets over his decision to commit to the club in the summer.

During the previous transfer window the England international was strongly linked with a reunion with former Blues boss Jose Mourinho at Inter Milan.

However, Lampard ended the speculation by penning a five-year deal at Stamford Bridge in August.

"It was a very tough time for me personally after the death of my mum, and my head was in a spin in the summer," he explains in the Sunday Times.

"I didn't really know what to do and I felt it might suit me to get away and change my surroundings and my life.

"But when I came back pre-season, I realised how much I loved this place - and, through speaking to my family, I knew what I had to do.

"I'm sure now 100 per cent that I made the right decision."
