Harper was on her way to get the advice from none other than her uncle Frank Lampard,

"What can I do for you Harper?" He asked seeing that the young Redknapp girl had pitched up to his training session which was something she usually did, except this time she hadn't told him she was coming,

"I need your opinion on something," she whispered not wanting any of her friends on the men's team to hear what she was talking about,

"Umm okay, training ends in five minutes so can you just sit tight for the time being and then we can have a chat," Frank knew that whatever the young girl was going on about was serious.

"Is that our favourite rival footballer?" The pair turned to see the Chelsea youth trio who ran over to give the young girl a hug,

"What are you doing here?" Fikayo asked his best friend as they put the young girl down not believing that she was really back,

"I needed to talk to this one about some work stuff," the brunette explained as she pointed to the older member of her family,

"Firstly don't call me this one and secondly you three go back to doing laps before I make this striker join in," the Gaffer smiled as the boys went back to doing their warm-down laps,

"You're no fun when you're bossy," the young girl stuck her tongue out at him clearly not being used to this side of him,

"Do you want to do laps with the boys or not?" Frank said to his niece not wanting to hear another word from her for the next few minutes,

"You can't do that to me, and I'm in airforces," to Harper her sneaker collection was her baby and she wasn't about to hurt it now,

"And that's how you got yourself a one-way ticket to doing laps," the older man waved as he gave her a push onto the field,

"I forget why you're my favourite uncle," the striker groaned as her uncle let out a laugh,

"This kinda treatment is only for my special niece," he smiled as she started her laps.

"So what can I do for you?" Frank asked the now sweaty girl who was following him to his car,

"You know how my contract expires at the end of the season?" The young girl started not really knowing how she was meant to approach the conversation,

"If you are planning on signing with Arsenal again I'm going to disown you," he stopped her really not wanting to see her back in red next season,

"Well not really, I'm trying to decide which team I actually want to move to before the transfer window closes," Harper explained as her uncle motioned for her to continue before he quickly brought up a point,

"All I'm going to say is that you better make sure that you're confident that you want to move because if they find out that you're even considering an offer they are going to start cutting your game time down," Frank didn't want to admit it to the young girl but she had to know what she was getting herself into before she made a public move,

"What are you going on about?" This was the first major move she was doing which meant that Harper was one hundred percent in uncharted territory which was another reason why she had gone to see her uncle,

"You are looking at, at least two teams that are looking at you that aren't your current club so Arsenal already know of these offers so if they find out that you want to move then you're in deep shit, because clubs just get offended when their players consider leaving," he explained knowing that she had finally gotten it into her head based on her nodding,

"And the only way to get back a the players who don't is to start cutting down game time," she finished the end of his sentence remembering a few players she watched this happen to as a child,

"So back to before I interrupted you, tell Uncle Frank about your problems," the oldest Redknapp child let out a giggle remembering the inside joke that the two had when she was a child and thought that Frank was more of a counsellor than a footballer.

"I've got offers from five different teams and I don't have a clue who to go for," she sighed not realising how tough of a decision she had to make,

"Holy shit, who's the teams that are fighting for you?" Frank knew that it was incredibly uncommon for five different teams to be looking at the same player, but Harper was different so he shouldn't have been surprised.

"Bayern, PSG, Dortmund want me back, Chelsea and City," Harper listed out each team that was looking into signing the young striker,

"Even though I played for City it's a no, but I'd obviously love to see you in a Chelsea shirt but why are you asking me for this opinion when we both know who your father and grandfather are," Frank appreciated that his niece had come to him but he also knew that it was a decision she was meant to make.

"You would give me your honest opinion, dad just let's his emotions get into everything. And then we both know how both him and my grandad reacted when I signed at Dortmund at sixteen," the family members looked at each other with wide eyes remembering that moment she announced that she was going to Germany.

"Look you know it's always been my dream to watch you put on a Chelsea shirt ever since you turned pro, but with that being said I support you with whatever team you play for." That right there was the exact reason Harper went to her uncle, Frank put the girl first rather than his own wants,

"Even City?" Harper let out a snort as she saw the look the older man gave her,

"Uh don't push it now," he responded with a glare as he opened the car door and gave the girl a light shove,

"Where are you taking me?" She asked not remembering agreeing to this,

"We both know that if the girls find out that you were here and I didn't bring you to see them then we'd both be in trouble," Frank pointed out knowing that his youngest loved the midfielder despite the fact that she wasn't even two years old yet.
