Manchester City midfielder Frank Lampard says his near-future objective is to concentrate on doing well for the club.
The 36-year-old impressed for the Citizens this season and his loan spell expires at the start of the new year but reports have suggested that he may be tempted to extend the contract until the end of the season.
"The temptation is to not get ahead of myself in my career," Lampard is quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
"I am here until January 1, basically, so I will focus on that and see what happens then.
"There has been a lot said about when the season starts, but the only thing that can decide my future is how well I am playing.
"They will be kicking me out in January if I don't play very well!
"I am just looking game to game and trying to play as well as I can."
