Sven-Goran Eriksson wants to take his former England World Cup player to China to play for his current team Guangzhou R & F. Eriksson has recommended 35-year-old Lampard to his bosses following the midfielder’s release by Chelsea and thinks he would be a huge hit in China - although matching the player’s £150,000-a-week Premier League wages will be difficult. The Swede, who partnered Lampard and Steve Gerrard at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, has room for one overseas signing at Guangzhou who currently sit third in the Chinese League and on course to qualify for the Asian Champions League.
