Russell West, one of the scouts of Coventry City, the team recently promoted to the English Premier League under the leadership of Frank Lampard, commented on the fact of the team's interest in signing the Egyptian star Emam Ashour, Al-Ahly club player, who displayed his brilliance in the current edition of the 2026 World Cup before the Pharaohs exited the tournament.
Emam Ashour's name had been linked with some clubs, most notably English Coventry City, which is seeking to bolster its lines after promotion to the Premier League under the leadership of Chelsea legend Frank Lampard.
The fact of Coventry City's interest in signing Emam Ashour
West confirmed in exclusive statements to Yalla Koura that reports of Coventry City's interest in signing Emam Ashour have no basis in truth, saying: "No, this is not true, there is no interest in the player at all and we have not read any news related to his transfer to us."
According to the Scottish newspaper celtsarehere, Celtic's scouting team has been following Emam Ashour over the past period.
The newspaper's report stated that Emam Ashour has a desire to leave Al-Ahly, at a time when participation in the UEFA Champions League next season could tempt the player to move to Celtic.
This comes amid Coventry City's pursuit of the 28-year-old player, with Frank Lampard's personal interest in him.
Al-Ahly wishes to renew Emam Ashour's contract with the club, with negotiation rounds set to begin after the player's return from vacation.
