Frank Lampard's agent has revealed that he would have denied the midfielder the chance to appear in a photoshoot for Chelsea because it was "demeaning".

A number of Blues players were covered in paint for a photoshoot promoting their Adidas football kit, but the England international was absent from the campaign.

"I wouldn't have allowed Frank to take part in any case," the Daily Mail quotes Lampard's agent Steve Kutner as saying. "Covering him in paint would have been demeaning."

Meanwhile, the 34-year-old has been linked with a summer move away from Stamford Bridge.
