Chelsea captain John Terry says he is "devastated" at the prospect of veteran midfielder Frank Lampard leaving the club. The 34-year-old Lampard's contract expires at the end of the season, and there are no signs he will be offered a new deal.

Writing on his Instagram social networking account, Terry said "devastated is an understatement. We should retire the number 8 shirt in honour of Lamps."

Lampard has won every major trophy alongside Terry since joining Chelsea from West Ham in 2001. Below a picture of them lifting the FA Cup in May, Terry added a series of tributes on Instagram, including "theheartbeat", ''legend" and "goal machine."
