Chelsea eyeing Lampard and Nuno, Sun say

Some of the stories in Friday’s newspapers involving the area’s clubs…

Chelsea are considering appointing Frank Lampard or Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo this summer, The Sun claim.

The newspaper previously tipped Zinedine Zidane to replace under-pressure head coach Maurizio Sarri at Stamford Bridge.

With Zidane having instead returned to Real Madrid, The Sun now say Nuno and Chelsea legend Lampard are in the frame.

Lampard – the Blues’ all-time record goalscorer – is currently manager of Derby County, while Nuno’s Wolves side have impressed in the Premier League.

The Sun say Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is reluctant to sack Sarri before the end of the season but that there are doubts over whether the Italian is the right man for the job.

There is also speculation about who will be managing Fulham next season.

Several newspapers have picked up on a story by i News that the Whites want to appoint former Huddersfield boss David Wagner.

And Tottenham have again been tipped to move for Fulham star Ryan Sessegnon this summer.

Spurs have long been strongly interested in Sessegnon, who has been linked with several other clubs.

His contract at Craven Cottage runs until next year and The Sun suggest bids for him will start at £25m and that Spurs will look to agree a deal.

It comes amid speculation that relegation would lead to several Fulham players leaving the club.
