Frank Lampard would welcome Wayne Rooney to Chelsea and hopes manager Jose Mourinho gets his way if he continues to pursue the Manchester United and England striker.
Mourinho has made it clear Rooney is his only transfer target this summer, but United are insistent the 27 year-old is not for sale.
There might have been a chance for Lampard and Rooney to discuss the prospect of becoming team-mates at club level when they were away with England before Wednesday's match against Scotland, but theChelsea midfielder insists the topic never came up.
Yet there has been no avoiding the speculation linking Rooney with a move to Stamford Bridge.
"I think Chelsea have made their interest known. That's a decision for them and Wayne to come to," Lampard said.
When it was suggested to Lampard that Mourinho usually gets his way, Lampard agreed, saying: "Yes he does, I think that has shown, but when you're talking about us here we've got a big squad, we've got three or four strikers already.
