Coventry City transfer round-up with Sky Blues’ hopes ‘fading fast’ and ‘fits the model’ rumour
The transfer rumour mill is in full-on mode as Coventry City fans continue to wait on news of Mark Robins’ next summer signing.
So far the Sky Blues boss has recruited wingers Ephron Mason-Clark and Raphael Borges Rodrigues, defender Luis Binks and attacking midfielder Jack Rudoni to add to his largely newly assembled squad from this time last year. More fresh faces are expected through the doors in the coming weeks, albeit unlikely that any will be added before the players report back for pre-season duty on Monday (July 1).
Hot off the Twittersphere, now X social media platform is a report from Sweden that international goalkeeper Oliver Dovin is wanted by a Championship club in England.
The Swedish outlet Tuttosvenskan posted on Wednesday evening: Oliver Dovin looks set to leave Hammarby. According to Swedish Tuttosvenskan, the goalkeeper and Bajen are in negotiations with a Championship club about a transfer.
That sparked speculation as to who the interested club could be, with one Swedish football fan throwing QPR’s name into the mix, before another replied: “Coventry I have heard.
That was picked up by blue tick registered @SwedeStats who recirculated the rumour while City fans frantically began searching the web and coming up with YouTube footage showing the goalkeeper literally taking his eye of the ball to concede an absolute howler.
Verdict: It’s highly probable that City are in the market for a new goalkeeper this summer following the departure of Simon Moore on a free transfer to Sunderland and the expectation that Ben Wilson could be moving on due to being frustrated by a lack of regular game time, having lost his place to Brad Collins. Dovin, 21, fits the club’s development model of signing young players with potential.
