Chelsea monitoring Real's Robinho
  Brazilian Robinho is an admirer of Chelsea manager ScolariChelsea are interested in signing Real Madrid's Brazilian forward Robinho - but have not offered £48m in a bid to bring him to Stamford Bridge. BBC Sport understands the 24-year-old is on the list of targets drawn up by Chelsea's new manager, Robinho's fellow countryman Luiz Felipe Scolari. Chelsea have not, as claimed by sources at the Bernabeu, made a £48m offer. Robinho is unhappy that Real have tried to use him in their attempt to sign Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo. Scolari is currently working on bringing in new faces ahead of his first Premier League campaign and Robinho is believed to be keen to work with the former Brazil coach. Robinho said: "It would be a dream for me to work with Luiz Felipe Scolari, who is one of the best coaches in the world. "I have always spoken highly of him and he has always spoken very highly of me, since well before he was at Chelsea "In 2003, when I was unknown in Europe, he called me to play in a charity match. It was brief but it was enough for me to see his style and character." And Robinho's agent, Wagner Ribeiro, was reported as saying in Spain: "Madrid have failed to value him as he deserves and I do not like the fact that they tried to include him in the Ronaldo deal. Money is not the problem for us now. "What matters for Robinho is to leave the club and play for Scolari at Chelsea." Real, however, are reluctant to sanction any deal for Robinho to leave while their bid to bring Portugal winger Ronaldo to Spain remains in the balance - and this could yet cool Chelsea's interest.

Aston Villa make move for Bentley
 Bentley started his career at ArsenalBlackburn boss Paul Ince has revealed that Aston Villa have lodged an offer for midfielder David Bentley. The England international, 23, did not play in Blackburn's pre-season victory at Macclesfield on Monday because of a calf problem picked up in training. Bentley has made it clear that he wants to leave Blackburn and has also been linked with Tottenham, who Ince says are yet to make an approach. "We have had an offer from Aston Villa but I do not want him to go," he said. "He is injured and he will have a couple of days off and I hope to take him to Germany on Wednesday for our training trip." Bentley's current deal runs until 2011 and he is expected to cost Blackburn's Premier League rivals in the region of £17m. "The David Bentley situation will not go away and only time will tell whether he is here in August," added Ince. "He would have played here if he had not been injured but I know that in football players come and players go." Ince's first game in charge since he took over at Blackburn resulted in his side beating Macclesfield - the club where he started his managerial career - 2-1, with goals from David Dunn and Paul Gallagher. Afterwards, Ince also dismissed any move for Tottenham keeper Paul Robinson as part of any deal taking Bentley to White Hart Lane, insisting he wanted to hold on to American stopper Brad Friedel. "When I came to Blackburn, I said I wanted to keep my best players and Brad Friedel comes into that category," he said. "He is one of the best keepers in the Premier League. "There is no interest from me in Paul Robinson. As far as I am concerned, I want to keep Brad. I do not want to sell Brad, so why should I want Paul Robinson?" Blackburn striker Roque Santa Cruz has also been linked to other Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Arsenal, but the Paraguayan international says he is happy to stay at Rovers.

What do you think? Will Lamps go to Inter? I read in the next 48 hours there will be a decision. Lamps won't do the Asia trip with the team.
