WILDER NOT JOINING CHARLTON

Charlton Athletic have failed in their bid to lure Chris Wilder from Northampton Town.

The Addicks, relegated from the Championship this season, had hoped to make Wilder their new boss in place of Jose Riga, who stepped down after their season-ending 3-0 defeat to Burnley.

An Athletic statement read: "Charlton Athletic can confirm that following discussions with Northampton Town manager Chris Wilder and his assistant Alan Knill over the vacant managerial role at The Valley, the club has been unable to reach an agreement.

"The club will now continue its search for a candidate to take the club forward. Any further announcements will be made in due course."

DEMBELE NOT JOINING LEICESTER

Rennes forward Ousmane Dembele has confirmed he is not interested in a transfer to Premier League champions Leicester City.

Speaking to Ouest-France, Dembele said: "I had Claudio Ranieri on the phone. I was surprised to hear from him but I told him I will not be going to Leicester.

"I do hope to be playing Champions League, but I know where I'm going and it's final."

Dembele, 18, has scored 12 goals in his debut season in Ligue 1, and was recently named Young Player of the Year.

Sir Alex Ferguson and Mauricio Pochettino have been pictured having lunch together in a London restaurant - immediately sparking rumours that the Tottenham boss could be on his way to Manchester United.

United boss Louis van Gaal's position at Old Trafford remains unclear, with Jose Mourinho consistently linked with the United hot-seat since his dismissal from Chelsea last year.

But the luncheon, at Scott's in Mayfair, was reportedly a long-standing engagement and not a recruitment bid by Ferguson.
