Frank Lampard arrived in the peninsula this weekend to complete his £7.5m transfer to Inter.


Reports emerged last night from France Football that the deal had been struck and it is now believed the Chelsea midfielder is already in Italy to undergo a medical.


The Italian media claim he arrived in Positano last night and will be in Milan to put pen to paper later today.


Lampard is provided with a four-year contract worth £5.8m per season – almost a £2m increase from his Chelsea wages – and the club receives £7.5m.


The England star had only one year left on his contract with the Stamford Bridge side and was eager to reunite with new Inter boss Jose Mourinho.


The deciding factor could well have been Deco, who was wanted by both Inter and Chelsea.


It is rumoured the Nerazzurri opted to back out of contention for the Barcelona midfielder so he could begin building Luiz Felipe Scolari’s squad in London.
