He wants a full-year break from football.50758Edwards was "blown away" by the project but still firm that he was not available in the short- or medium- term. He wants a full-year break from football. Edwards held several meetings with the club and was reportedly very impressed with the project on offer. However, he remains keen to spend a full year away from the game after parting ways with the Reds this summer. The London giants have their eyes on Paris Saint-Germain's (PSG) Luis Campos and could install the Portuguese as an advisor. That would leave room for Edwards to take charge when he becomes available.

Thomas Tuchel not at fault for failure to sign Declan Rice says Fabrizio Romano

Declan Rice has admirers at Stamford Bridge. Acclaimed transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has said that Thomas Tuchel wasn't at fault for Chelsea's failed pursuit of Declan Rice. The Blues are long-term admirers of the West Ham United midfielder, who is seen as an ideal replacement for N'Golo Kante at Stamford Bridge. However, the move has so far failed to materialise. In his column for Caught Offside, Romano said that the main stumbling block in any potential deal is the Hammers’reluctance to sell Rice."Tuchel never turned down the chance of signing Declan Rice, Rice was simply untouchable for West Ham and so far there is no update," wrote Romano. Rice has made seven appearances for West Ham this season. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Bhargav × Feedback Thank You!
