Brum World Coventry City ‘submit update’ as Aston Villa and West Ham race to sign FA Cup hero Coventry City are doing all they can to keep hold of Aston Villa and West Ham United target Callum O’Hare. The Sky Blues submitted their retained list on Thursday afternoon, confirming the exit of veteran captain Liam Kelly and verifying reports that O’Hare had been offered a new contract. It’s hoped fresh terms can convince the star midfielder to stay at Coventry Building Society Arena but interest from the Premier League is likely to scupper the club’s plans. O’Hare was vital to Coventry’s impressive FA Cup run this season and he scored in the recent 3-3 semi-final thriller against Manchester United at Wembley Stadium. That was his fourth goal in just five FA Cup appearances this term, while he recorded six goals and three assists in 31 Championship matches. Although serenaded and appreciated as a key man for the Sky Blues, O’Hare has let his contract run down, with his current deal expiring on June 30. Any potential suitors are free to enter talks with the playmaker and several clubs are already circling. C&H West Ham Set for Summer Rebuild Under Lopetegui Simon Leyland West Ham United fans can expect a summer transfer window filled with activity as the club prepares for a rebuild under new manager Julen Lopetegui. The incoming Spanish boss has reportedly set his sights on a significant squad overhaul. His ambitious plans involve bolstering the squad with six new signings. However, these reinforcements will necessitate a player exodus. Lopetegui will need to clear out some members of the current squad, particularly those deemed unfit for his tactical approach and overall vision for the team. Some believe the squad inherited from David Moyes lacks balance, making player sales crucial to fund the desired incoming transfers. One name seemingly already on the departing list is winger Said Benrahma. Lyon, where Benrahma is currently on loan, is reportedly prepared to activate their £12.4 million purchase option, making his move permanent. With Lopetegui reportedly having no intention of keeping Benrahma, this situation could benefit both clubs financially. Benrahma appears to be thriving in Ligue 1. He has rediscovered his form with Lyon, contributing three goals and three assists in just 13 games. The upcoming summer transfer window promises a period of significant change for the Irons. Lopetegui’s arrival is likely to trigger a wave of outgoings to make way for his incoming recruits. The potential departure of Said Benrahma to Lyon seems all but certain, with the French club poised to exercise their purchase clause. Sport Witness ‘Summit with representatives’ as player could be sold to West Ham – Club now ready to sell to Hammers By Naveen Ullal Sporting’s Marcus Edwards was linked with a move to West Ham United in January, but the London club never made an approach for him. The winger has scored six goals and registered nine assists from 43 games in the Lions’ title winning season, yet his future seems to be away from Sporting. That’s according to Record, who say West Ham could be an option for the 25-year-old in the summer window, with the Hammers having a longstanding interest. It’s claimed the Englishman has a clear desire to return to his country and wants to play in the Premier League. The report says several clubs from the Premier League have followed the player’s situation at the Portuguese club, and West Ham are mentioned. His deal lasts until 2026, and Sporting are ready to negotiate his sale in the next window. As of now, there are no offers on the table. With West Ham in the mix, Record state there will be a ‘summit with representatives’ at the end of the season, and the player will then decide the best option for his career. Faced with the possibility of losing Edwards, the Portuguese champions are looking at the possible candidates who could replace him next season. They feel that now is the right time to sell and maximise their gains."

Cheers…
