Overview
- Bamford has been working at Coventry’s training ground as he seeks a new team following his August departure from Leeds by mutual consent.
- CoventryLive reports the arrangement is a goodwill gesture from Lampard rather than a trial with a view to signing.
- The striker was informed in July that he was not in Daniel Farke’s plans and was excluded from Leeds’ pre-season and first-team sessions before his release.
- Earlier links to Getafe and reported interest from other clubs have not produced a deal to date.
- Lampard knows Bamford from their time at Chelsea, and Coventry currently lead the Championship unbeaten with 31 goals in 11 matches.
