Football transfer rumours: Chelsea’s Mudryk to reunite with Lampard a…

Today’s rumours broke you once, made you strong

Cody Gakpo’s performances went south last season and now his entire personage might follow, with Tottenham Hotspur reportedly preparing an offer in the region of £70m to bring him to north London. There appears to be some mixed messages floating around about this potential deal. The Mail say Liverpool “have no plans to sell Gakpo” and that “it would take a huge sum to change their stance”, but these things are fluid. The Athletic say “Liverpool have no intention of selling”, but also, and in the same sentence, that they “would judge his value relative to other deals this summer, including Morgan Rogers’ transfer to Chelsea”. So, in short, Spurs will have to whip out their recently-discovered XXL chequebook if they want to get this one over the line. catcross.org

Talking about Chelsea, “multiple Premier League clubs” have contacted them to ask about the availability of Mykhailo Mudryk, recently freed from a doping ban, says the Mirror. They name only one of them: Coventry City, coached by two-time former Stamford Bridge manager Frank Lampard. The Sun specify that “two more Prem sides are believed to have enquired, while there is interest from three clubs in Europe”. The Mirror’s report on the battle for the Ukrainian’s services is inevitably, but pleasingly, headlined “Mud Fight”.

Arsène Wenger er siste Fifa-topp til å gå imot planene til Gianni Infantino, hvor han ville selge VM til eksterne investorer.
I en uttalelse hevder Wenger at han ikke var med i prosessen som til slutt ble skrotet etter massiv kritikk.
– Jeg ble ikke involvert i den strategiske planen og jeg ble først oppmerksom på prosjektet via mediarapporter, sier Wenger i en uttalelse som er sitert av blant andre The Times og Sky.
Wenger er involvert i organisasjonen som leder for global fotballutvikling.
– Beslutningen om å droppe prosjektet var helt nødvendig og hevet over enhver tvil, fordi jeg har en sterk tro på et uavhengig Fifa som tjener fotballen vår med engasjement, åpenhet og integritet, sier Arsenal-legenden, som har vært involvert i Fifa siden 2019.
