Coventry City Shock: Lampard Tells £23M Forgotten Star to Find New Club

📰 Coventry City Shock: Lampard Tells £23M Forgotten Star to Find New Club

Coventry City manager Frank Lampard has dropped a bombshell following today’s 2-1 defeat to Leicester City, confirming that one of the club’s most expensive and once highly-rated signings no longer has a future at the club.

After the match, Lampard did not hold back when asked about the player’s display.

🗣️ “I’m sorry to say, but he can no longer work under me at Coventry City. He needs to look for a new club by January — it’s the end,” Lampard admitted in a brutally honest post-match interview.

The £23 million man, once seen as a cornerstone of Coventry’s long-term project, has struggled to live up to expectations, with injuries, inconsistency, and a lack of impact all contributing to his downfall. Today’s performance against Leicester — where he was dispossessed several times and missed a key chance late in the second half — appears to have been the breaking point for the former England legend turned manager.

Lampard’s comments will come as a crushing blow to the player, who has battled to revive his career at the Sky Blues but now faces the prospect of finding a new home in the January transfer window.

Club insiders say Coventry will be open to loan or permanent offers, but given the player’s price tag and current form, negotiations could be complicated.

For now, the forgotten star’s chapter at Coventry looks all but closed — with Lampard making it clear that there will be no way back.
