EXCITING NEWS: Coventry manager took a bold step and ready to negotiate to sign a superstar striker in  Man City who’s worth over €100 million 

Coventry City have been linked with a promising young Belgian forward who is claimed to be on the club’s ‘shortlist’ this summer.

According to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the Sky Blues are eyeing Mitchy Ntelo, who currently plays for Bulgarian club Lokomotiv Plovdiv and is reported to have been the subject of a €700,000 bid from newly promoted Russian Premier League side FC Khimki.

Tavolieri, who has 98k followers on the social media platform X, says his club are asking for around €1.2million for the player whose main position is striker, but who can also play as a right or left winger.

CoventryLive verdict: It’s difficult to know whether or not to take links like this with a pinch of salt, but Ntelo would certainly seem to fit Coventry’s recruitment model, being a young player with development potential. And Mark Robins could well be in the market for a new striker who is different to big men Haji Wright and Ellis Simms this summer amid uncertainty surrounding Matty Godden’s future.
