Chevron Championship: Rection and analysis as Nelly Korda claims third major

'Villa monitoring PSG teen Mbaye'

Aston Villa are monitoring Paris Saint-Germain teenager Ibrahim Mbaye, according to the Daily Mail.

Villa will reportedly target younger players this summer, with attacker Mbaye among those they admire.

But it is claimed the deal would not be easy for Mbaye, who has two years left on his contract, with Villa not the only club to show interest. 

Mbaye has made 21 appearances this season for PSG, scoring once and assisting twice.

He is set to play at this summer's World Cup for Senegal.

'Barca boss Flick set to sign new contract'

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick is set to sign a new contract, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The German's current contract expires at the end of next season but it is claimed he has agreed a one-year extension plus an option for another year to potentially take him to the end of the 2028/2029 season.

Flick took over from Xavi Hernandez in the summer of 2024 and is on course for his second consecutive LaLiga title this season, with Barca nine points clear of Real Madrid with five games remaining.

The 61-year-old's long-term commitment at the Spotify Camp Nou comes after the re-election of Barca president Joan Laporta.

Man City midfielder Coombs to retire at end of season

Manchester City midfielder Laura Coombs has announced that she will retire at the end of the season.

The 35-year-old, who first moved to the Joie Stadium in June 2019, has spent the majority of her 19-year playing career in Manchester, making 147 appearances in all competitions, placing her eighth in the Citys all-time professional rankings.

Coombs also earned seven senior international caps for England and was part of the squad that reached the 2023 Womens World Cup final.

For City, she has won one FA Cup and League Cup and scored 27 times, and there could yet be more silverware to come with Andre Jeglertzs team still in the hunt for success in both the Womens Super League and Womens FA Cup.

Speaking about her retirement, Coombs said: I'm so excited to be a fan of this team in the future. What they're trying to build here, I think it's incredible.

The way Manchester City are putting our women's team in a position to really go on and be successful long-term is so exciting. I'm very glad I got to play a part in that and I'm very excited to watch in the future."

Coventry hoping Lampard stays for next adventure amid Chelsea links

Coventry owner Doug King remains hopeful Frank Lampard will lead the club into their first Premier League season in 25 years as speculation continues to link him with a return to Chelsea.

The former England international has guided the Sky Blues to the Championship title in his first full season in charge but is among the names being spoken about as possible candidates to take the Stamford Bridge job.

Chelsea sacked Liam Rosenior last week, three months into a six-and-a-half-year contract, and are looking for their fifth permanent appointment since owners BlueCo took control four years ago.

Lampard, who scored 211 Blues goals across 13 seasons making him the clubs all-time top scorer, has managed the club twice previously, first between 2019 and 2021 then again as caretaker in 2023.

Following an unsuccessful spell in charge of Everton, he was appointed by Coventry in November 2024 and this season secured promotion back to the top flight for the first time since the club were relegated in 2001.

Of course (I want to keep him), King told The Football Boardroom Podcast. Frank knows how I think of him.

He is a very skilled operator, and he has taken and developed our team to the Championship title with no parachute payments.

Everybody wants what they want, and I will look at the situation, and I hope he will be with us into the next adventure that we have taken in the Premier League, because I think he enjoys working in that environment.

I think he has done a great job and I am sure as we move forward we will have conversations about the situation.

There has been no contact from Burnley as things stand. Your Site News has already reported that Burnley have not yet spoken to any candidates. 

Parker only left the job today and Mike Jackson will take the final few games of the season.Bellamy has two years left to run on his Wales contract.

He has previously expressed his desire to lead them at Euro 2028 when the opening game is at Cardiffs Principality Stadium.

Coventry interested in signing goalkeeper Rushworth on permanent deal

Latest from Your Site News' Elliot Cook and Dharmesh Sheth:

Coventry City are interested in signing goalkeeper Carl Rushworth on a permanent deal. 

Your Site News understands the Championship title winners are keen on bringing the 24-year-old to the CBS Arena on a permanent deal after a successful season-long loan.

Other Premier League clubs are interested in signing Rushworth.

It's thought the player is open to a move to Coventry to further develop his career. 

The player and his representatives want to be respectful that both clubs, Coventry and Brighton have yet to finish their season so no talks will happen before that point.

Rushworth has a year left on his current contract at Brighton, plus a further 12-month option.

Interest growing in Man Utd forward Jadon Sancho

Latest from Your Site News reporters Dharmesh Sheth and Danyal Khan:

Interest in Manchester United forward Jadon Sancho is growing. 

Your Site News has been told an unnamed Italian club has made "initial enquiries" over a move this summer. 

As previously reported, Borussia Dortmund has already confirmed they have made contact over a return to the club for Sancho. 

Sancho's contract at United is up in the summer and his representatives are free to talk to clubs outside England.

United hold an option to extend his contract for a further year, but it's understood they will not be exercising that option.

Sancho is currently on loan at Aston Villa and is in no rush to make a decision about his future. He wants to assess all his options in the summer and staying in the Premier League has not been ruled out.
