Frank Lampard signs for MLS team with Atletico striker set to join him
Former Chelsea captain Frank Lampard has agreed to join New York City on a free transfer and Atletico Madrid striker David Villa is already on his way to join him.
The Chelsea legend and Espania striker were both at Manchester City's Carrington training complex to make the deals and finalise parts of their transfers. Both met with Jason Kreis, the New York City head coach, as Lampard is set to leave Blues .
Both deals have made a huge difference on City's US franchise, which begins in the new MLS season. Lampard has made statement to have accepted a deal worth significantly less than the £150,000 he was on at Blues, however, the pay is expected to raise by bonuses.
New York's deal with Spanish striker Villa is also a massive signing, with the Spaniard helping Atletico to a massive La Liga win this season.
