The former Nice winger, who has a deal until the summer of 2022, has also earned three senior caps for the Algerian national team.
It is believed that Lampard is looking to reinforce his squad this summer with veteran duo Willian and Pedro likely to leave Stamford Bridge in the coming months.
The pair’s contracts run out at the end of this month and both have attracted interest from other Premier League clubs and European sides.
Willian has been linked with a move to Tottenham and Arsenal, while Pedro has received interest from Roma and Valencia.
