With the new contract, this former Hammer's player will be the highest paid player in English Premier League with earning approximately close to £140,000 a week, which is £9,000 more than the last top earner which is also his team mate, John Terry.

It is surely a big amount of money but how good is Lampard actually? Well, let take a look at his record.
