Coventry City transfer news and gossip from CoventryLive as the rumour mill moves into overdrive
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.

The Sun claimed last month that the Sky Blues were keen on the 29-year-old but it’s gone all quiet on that front, and for good reason. The player, who has made over 400 appearances.
