Frank Lampard is exploring moves for former Chelsea players Fikayo Tomori and Ruben Loftus-Cheek as Coventry City prepare for their Premier League return.<\/strong><\/p>\n Coventry have reportedly made contact over both AC Milan players to establish whether summer deals are financially possible.<\/p>\n The initial approach is understood to have focused on the conditions required rather than formal offers.<\/p>\n Italian reports claim Coventry are the only club to have made concrete contact for both players so far, with Milan open to departures this summer.<\/p>\n Lampard worked with Tomori and Loftus-Cheek during his time at Chelsea and knows the qualities both could bring to a promoted squad.<\/p>\n Tomori became a first-team regular under Lampard during the 2019\/20 season before later joining Milan. Loftus-Cheek also came through Chelsea\u2019s academy and made more than 150 senior appearances for the club.<\/p>\n ReadChelsea previously noted how Tomori and Loftus-Cheek form part of the strong Chelsea-to-Milan connection.<\/p>\n Loftus-Cheek may represent the more realistic target. His ability to play across midfield would give Coventry experience, physicality and tactical flexibility.<\/p>\n Tomori\u2019s situation looks more complicated because the defender could wait for interest from clubs involved in European competition.<\/p>\n Both players have contracts running until 2027, which may encourage Milan to consider offers rather than risk their values falling further.<\/p>\n For Chelsea supporters, the proposed moves would reunite three familiar Cobham figures in the Premier League.<\/p>\n Coventry still need to decide whether the financial demands fit their recruitment model. Lampard\u2019s interest, though, shows he wants proven top-level experience around the squad that won promotion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Frank Lampard is exploring moves for former Chelsea players Fikayo Tomori and Ruben Loftus-Cheek as…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16947,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16946"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16946\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/16947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Lampard looks to trusted Chelsea experience<\/h2>\n
