Coventry City linked with Ricky Lambert of the Bristol Rovers
Ricky Lambert is indeed the man of the moment. Coventry City has shown interest in the prolific striker and a summer move is being planned for him. Now this major decision is being taken by the club after it celebrated its 125th inception anniversary and successfully averted relegation to League One despite a 4-1 loss to Charlton. The club also saw off a sell out on the 7th March in the match against Premier League club Chelsea at the quarter final of FA Cup. Showing interest in the Rovers Striker is certainly not a bad move, but Coventry must be aware that they are not the only ones in the fray.
The other teams that are wooing Ricky Lambert and have expressed interest in him are the Sky Blues, Peterborough United, Bolton Wanderers and Huddersfield Town. With 29 goals in the kitty, Ricky Lambert deserves a good deal; that being said he is not the kind of superstar we’ll see endorsing Adidas football boots on the telly or anything. Nevertheless, Lambert is an exceptional player and a great additional to any football club. British Rovers however have confirmed that they have not got an official request for a bid and have also stated that a couple of years are still left in the contract that Lambert signed with them. Darren Ferguson of Peterborough United reportedly launched a bid worth ₤1.5 million for Ricky Lambert which the Rovers have comprehensively denied. Looks like it is upto Lambert to decide the club that he wants top venture into provided the Bristol Rovers release him of his contractual obligations.
