Coventry claim they are
closing in on a mystery signing from the
Premiership.
The Sky Blues are refusing to reveal the identity of their transfer
target, but reports suggest Blackburn defender Andy Todd is the
player in question.
Blackburn are willing to let Todd leave Ewood Park for the right
price as he is well down the pecking order in Mark Hughes'
plans.
Coventry assistant manager Tim Flowers is not giving away who the
club are chasing, but he is hopeful a deal can be done for the
player.
"We have got a No.1 target and we have met with his agent and it
all sounded positive," Flowers told the Coventry Telegraph.
"He is a player of great calibre and has got one or two Premier
League clubs looking at him but I have spoken to him myself and he
is a good honest lad and says he will ring me as soon as he knows
what's happening.
"I can't say too much at this stage but from the first day I came
through the door at Coventry I threw his name into the equation
because he is a very, very good player.
"If he comes, and it is a big 'if', he will bring leadership,
organisation and a rugged manliness, and I believe he would be a
major coup and signal of our intent."
