Crystal Palace and Coventry City eyeing Plymouth Argyle star
As per a recent report from The Sun’s Alan Nixon from his Patreon service, Palace and Coventry are circling for Cooper ahead of a likely Home Park exit.
Plymouth Live reported last month that Cooper had rejected a new contract that would’ve made him the highest-paid player in Argyle’s history.
However, collecting an adequate fee and replacing Cooper effectively will be a key call of duty for new Head Coach Wayne Rooney, having put pen to paper with Plymouth back in May.
It’s understood that Plymouth are now looking to sanction a summer sale for Cooper and maximise the value of the courted goalkeeper, who has just one year left on his current deal and would be declared as full-profit due to his status as an academy graduate.
Crystal Palace and Coventry City interested in Plymouth Argyle’s Mike Cooper
If he departs Selhurst Park in the coming weeks then Oliver Glasner will be keen to secure a swift replacement, which could come in the form of Cooper.
The 24-year-old is also on the radar of Coventry but the opportunity to play Premier League football could be too good to turn down even if he’ll have to grapple for a starting spot between the sticks with ex-Sheffield United keeper Henderson.
Indeed, the Blades have previously been credited with an interest in adding Cooper to their ranks ahead of the 2024/25 campaign, where they’ll be competing in the Championship after succumbing to relegation from the Premier League last time out.
