Martin Jol has laughed off any chance of Fulham signing Frank Lampard ahead of tonight's west London derby with Chelsea.
The 34-year-old midfielder might be just two goals shy of the Blues' all-time scoring record, but a Stamford Bridge exit at the end of his contract this summer looks likely.
Having stayed on the bench for Sunday's FA Cup semi-final with Manchester City, Lampard is in line to make his 600th Chelsea appearance at Craven Cottage.
Fulham boss Jol was full of praise for the England international ahead of the match but dismissed suggestions he might make a summer approach.
"He is the most productive midfield player in England in the last 30 or 40 years," the Dutchman said.
"Everyone would love to have him. He's fit and is a good character.
"He will have a smile on his face if he listens to Fulham but I would love to have him. But it's hypothetical as he will never play for Fulham. I'm not sure he will play for a top-10 team.
"He's a legend - a living legend over there. He won all the prizes over there. In the end I have a feeling they will keep him."
