Frank Lampard’s Coventry will play in the Premier League for the first time since 2001 (Photo: Getty) A former Manchester United star is reportedly keen on returning to the Premier League amid interest from Frank Lampard’s Coventry City. After cruising to the Championship title, Coventry are preparing to play in the Premier League for the first time since in 2001, kicking-off the new season against champions Arsenal on August 21. And Lampard has splashed the case this summer transfer window, spending £86million on five players, including highly-rated English goalkeeper Carl Rushworth from Brighton. More signings will be needed to give the Sky Blues the best possible chance of avoiding relegation and, according to L’Equipe, they have made enquiries about Marseille’s Angel Gomes.

The midfielder came through United’s academy but failed to break into the first-team before joining Lille, where he quietly impressed, leading to Lee Carsley giving him his England debut in 2024. Gomes only signed for Marseille last summer before spending the second-half of the season on loan at Wolves, though he was unable to stop their relegation. It is said that the 25-year-old wants another chance to prove himself in his homeland and while Marseille do not wish to sell him, they will not stand in his way if a suitable deal can be agreed. Angel Gomes joined Marseille on a free only last summer (Photo: Getty) Due to their financial situation, the French club need to sell this summer, and as one of their top earners, Gomes, who is under contract until 2028, is a top candidate to leave. Additionally, Sky Sports report that Marseille striker Neal Maupay, formerly of Brentford, Everton and Brighton, and defender Leonardo Balerdi, are also of interest to several Premier League clubs. Newcastle United were on course to sign Gomes’ current midfield partner Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to replace captain Brumo Guimaraes, who recently completed a £75m switch to Arsenal. Gomes made just 10 senior appearances for boyhood club Man Utd (Photo: Getty) However, it was reported on Monday that the former Tottenham star has declined the chance to return to England, in yet another transfer blow for the Magpies. In other news, rumours from Italy suggest Lampard is preparing an ambitious bid to reunite with former Chelsea and England centre-back Fikayo Tomori, whose future at AC Milan is unclear.

Two teams ruled out of Premier League title race by former Man Utd and Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre

Former Man Utd and Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre (Picture: Getty) Former Manchester United and Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre believes only three teams are capable of winning the Premier League this season. Mikel Arteta is preparing for Arsenal’s title defence after the Gunners won the Premier League for the first time since 2004 last season. Arsenal were involved in another tense title race with Manchester City but ended up winning the Premier League by seven points. Man City will expect to challenge once again as the most dominant team in English football over the last decade, but it remains to be seen whether Enzo Maresca can successfully replace legendary manager Pep Guardiola.

Manchester United recovered from a poor first-half to the season to climb to third once Michael Carrick replaced Ruben Amorim in the Old Trafford hot-seat. Unai Emery’s Aston Villa secured fourth ahead of defending champions Liverpool, who finished 25 points behind Arsenal despite a stunning spending spree last summer and decided to sack Arne Slot in the summer. Silvestre knows what it takes to win the Premier League, having played a part in four Manchester United title triumphs under Sir Alex Ferguson. Arsenal won the Premier League last season (Picture: Getty) The former France international insists it will be ‘tough’ for Arsenal to retain their Premier League trophy but views Manchester City and Liverpool as the only two ‘realistic’ contenders outside of the reigning champions. Asked how he believes Arsenal will fare during their title defence, Silvestre told Grosvenor Sport: ‘It might seem like an easy job but you have to manage all the egos and keep everybody happy. ‘The players should understand that there is no rest. You must keep improving the team and the squad. New Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca (Picture: Getty) ‘Mikel Arteta has already shown that he can compete with the very best. Right now he’s the best manager in the Premier League based on last season. ‘The challenge now is to remain in that position as number one and that’s tough in the Premier League. ‘There will be so much competition from Manchester City and Liverpool this season although at the moment they are the only two teams that are ready to compete for the title, realistically.’ Manchester United impressed under Michael Carrick (Picture: Getty) Silvestre’s former Manchester United teammate Patrice Evra believes the Red Devils can continue to ‘rebuild’ and ‘compete’ for major honours once again. ‘Manchester United should never believe they are too far away,’ Evra told Stake. ‘This club was not built to accept second place. But belief without action is just talking. ‘You don’t become champions because you say the right sentence in an interview. You become champions because you work every day, build the right habits and perform when the pressure is highest. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZwv0I5DIzI/?hl=en&img_index=1 ‘If Arsenal can rebuild and compete again, of course United can. But now United have to prove it on the pitch. ‘When you are Manchester United, you don’t start the season dreaming about finishing fourth. Come on. That is not the standard Sir Alex Ferguson built into the club. ‘Of course you have to be realistic because the Premier League is tough. But the ambition has to be trophies. If top-four becomes the dream, then we have a problem. ‘Top-four can be a step. It can be a consequence of progress.

He knows the standards, the history and what that dressing room should feel like. ‘Other clubs changing managers can help a little, maybe.

Will Arsenal sign a left winger?

sports.yahoo.com · …

Adam asked: Arsenal are heavily rumoured to be after a left winger following the Vinicius Jr saga, so who do you think will be most likely to sign for the club in that position before the end of the window? Alex answered: It is a tough position to be in when the club have had such a public move for a player not come to fruition, and also when there are only a small number of players who can fit the bill of what Arsenal are looking for. The Gunners want players who can take them to the next level and that is hard to find after winning the Premier League and reaching the Champions League final.

Paolo Maldini reveals why Guardiola rejected Italy coach offer and why he stepped back after president blocked Pirlo signing

worldsoccertalk.com · …

While addressing why he decided to step back from Italy's sporting director role after the president blocked Andrea Pirlo's signing, Paolo Maldini revealed that the money wasn't the reason why Pep Guardiola rejected the coach offer. Paolo Maldini was the central figure behind Italy‘s attempt to hire Pep Guardiola as the next manager of the Azzurri, though the Spanish tactician ultimately passed on the opportunity. While opening up about his departure from the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), the legendary defender explained why Guardiola chose not to take charge of the national team. In his former role as Italy‘s sporting director, Maldini was tasked by federation president Giovanni Malago with spearheading the search for a new head coach. While Carlo Ancelotti reaffirmed his commitment to Brazil, Guardiola, who had recently departed Manchester City, emerged as a viable candidate, leading to promising initial discussions. In an interview with Corriere della Sera, Maldini reflected on how negotiations with Guardiola unfolded: “He is the manager who most embodies technical, attacking play. Through a few mutual friends, he had expressed an interest in managing a national team. We went to visit him in Barcelona, had lunch together, and talked for an entire day. He was very tempted. He came very close to accepting. He even started writing line-ups down on paper.“ Maldini and technical advisor Leonardo traveled to Barcelona for face-to-face talks with Guardiola, who had recently stepped down after a decade at Manchester City. Although reports suggested Guardiola demanded a €20 million annual salary (roughly $22 million USD), Maldini clarified that money was never a barrier. “Financial terms were never an obstacle. Pep made it clear: give me one euro less than the previous manager, and I am satisfied,” Maldini revealed. Mikel Arteta (L), head coach of Arsenal, and Pep Guardiola (R), head coach of Manchester City. (Michael Regan/Getty Images) When asked about the deciding factor behind Guardiola’s refusal, Maldini was candid: “Out of fatigue. Guardiola is coming off ten grueling years in the Premier League. He had back surgery. He wants to rest. But it was a very serious discussion; we went over the rosters, from the under-17s on up… So we went with Andrea. Malago knew everything; we kept him informed step by step.“ Since making his top-flight managerial debut with FC Barcelona in 2008, Guardiola took a single sabbatical year between 2012 and 2013 before taking over at Bayern Munich, followed by a ten-year reign at Manchester City from 2016 to 2026. While managing a national team remained a career goal, the Spaniard ultimately decided the timing was not right to take the helm of the Azzurri. Maldini’s brief tenure and sudden resignation An institutional crisis following Italy’s third consecutive missed World Cup prompted Malago to appoint Maldini as sporting director. However, after assuming the role on July 11, Maldini resigned just 16 days later on July 27 after the federation president blocked the hiring of Andrea Pirlo over alleged ties between the former midfielder and a Russian betting firm. When asked whether those reported ties influenced the decision to override Pirlo’s appointment, Maldini defended his choice while addressing the controversy: “That definitely played a role. We didn’t know about it. The media did its job. But legally speaking, there was nothing that could have prevented Andrea from becoming the National Team head coach.“ Maldini emphasized that no legal impediments existed to block Pirlo’s appointment, arguing the situation was sensationalized beyond proportion. However, the disagreement prompted Malago to unilaterally alter the administrative structure, leading to an ultimatum that the AC Milan legend found unacceptable. “He (Malago) called me and Leonardo to say: ‘In my view, we can no longer hire Pirlo. From today on, I decide the manager. From today, the rules change: I choose the head coach, and you e
