Coventry City boss provides insight into ‘interesting’ summer signing
Coventry City news from CoventryLive as Sky Blues boss Mark Robins talks about what fans can expect from his first summer signing Raphael Borges Rodrigues
Mark Robins insists Coventry City summer signing Raphael Borges Rodrigues can be “anything he wants,” such is the quality in his feet.
The 20-year-old Brazilian-Australian winger joined the Sky Blues in May for an undisclosed fee from A-League side Macarthur FC, signing a four year contract at the CBS Arena and arriving as the club’s first official capture of the transfer window.
Although a bit of an unknown quantity at the minute in terms of how quickly he will fit in to the pace and rigours of the English Championship, Robins believes that after a settling in period the young forward will flourish and develop into a real asset for the club.
Leeds United: Sheffield United receive Callum O’Hare transfer boost
Smyth believes that Leeds are unlikely to make a move for O’Hare this summer despite becoming available as a free agent.
He has revealed that no deal is imminent, which could open the door for Sheffield United to swoop in and win the race to his signature.
“I would still love to see a number 10 come in,” said Smyth, via Inside Elland Road podcast.
“At the minute I don’t get the feeling that it’s going to be O’Hare because we’re told there’s nothing imminent right now with him from Leeds, and I don’t get the feeling they’re chasing that one as an urgent priority.”
This will come as a boost to Leeds’ Yorkshire rivals, who will be hoping to build a team capable of fighting for promotion to the Premier League next season.
The Blades suffered relegation from the top flight in the previous campaign, coming 20th in the table.
