Kenyon was in Nyon for the Champions League draw, which paired Avram Grant's side with Turkish club Fenerbahce.

Lampard's future has come under the spotlight yet again after he appealed to the club to sort out his contract situation.

The midfielder, who struck four goals against Derby in Chelsea's 6-1 Barclays Premier League victory on Wednesday night, ideally wants to bring negotiations to a conclusion before the end of the season.

His current deal expires in the summer of 2009, and Kenyon suggested anything was possible before the summer.

"I think anything is realistic - I just don't want to add to more speculation counting down each day to the summer," he said.

"I think the discussions that we have with Frank will be kept private and that's important. I think both parties have made it absolutely clear that we want to find a resolution to this and hopefully we will do that sooner rather than later.

"We are committed, as is Frank, to finding the right solution to keep him at Stamford Bridge."

Chelsea coach Avram Grant, whose own future has been under scrutiny in recent weeks following their Carling Cup final defeat by Tottenham and the shock FA Cup exit at Barnsley, hinted in an ideal world he would love Lampard's situation to be sorted sooner rather than later.

"Of course, when you want a player for next season, you want that everything is done," said Grant. "But it is a negotiation between the club and the player.

"I have said my opinion, so have the club and Frank, so I am sure at the end of the day that it will be okay.

"I want Frank in the club and I said that when he was injured. I know he is more popular because he scored four goals but my opinion of him has not changed over the last five months.

"Frank always give 100% for the team. This is the reason the club want him. Frank is good for Chelsea and we want him here."

Grant was also given a vote of confidence by Kenyon in a bid to silence speculation he maybe on his way out of the club if they fail to win any silverware this season.

Kenyon said: "We appointed Avram on a four-year contract back in September, his job was never contingent on silverware this year - it's about Chelsea moving on and continuing to build on what's been achieved over the last three years and that's the job to be done," he told Sky Sports News.

Grant, meanwhile, insisted Chelsea were afraid of no-one after the Champions League draw pitted them against the Turks with the return leg at home.

Victory would see them meet the winners of Liverpool and Arsenal in the semi-finals, throwing up the spectre of yet another last-four clash with Rafa Benitez's side.

Grant said: "Every game in the Champions League quarter-final is not easy. This team played very well in the group stage and against Seville. It is not an easy draw but our target is still the same.

"Our target is to succeed in the Champions League. We are a team and a club which hasn't been in the final. We want to be in a final. This is our target for the next few years but we want to do it as soon as possible.

"Any draw in the quarter-final is hard but we are not afraid of any team. But on the other hand we respect the other teams in the last eight.

Kenyon said: "I'm delighted because first and foremost we managed to avoid another English team, which is good news certainly for our supporters. I think overall it is a good draw.

"It's the first time we've ever played Fenerbahce so there's no history between the two clubs.

"They're having a good season, are second in the league and qualified second in the group."
