Forget £10m deal, holding off Ipswich Town could be Coventry City’s best business all summer: View
Coventry City has strengthened its squad with key signings like Luis Binks and Jack Rudoni ahead of the upcoming season.
Retaining midfielder Ben Sheaf could be crucial for the team’s success, given his impact and quality on the pitch.
Keeping star players like Ellis Simms and Tatsuhiro Sakamoto is essential for Coventry’s promotion quest in 2024/25.
Coventry City have made a productive start to the summer transfer window.
Not only has Raphael Borges Rodrigues joined, but Luis Binks has joined the Sky Blues permanently following last season’s loan spell and Jack Rudoni has now made the switch from Huddersfield Town.
Looking at their squad, they are looking very strong ahead of the new season already, and there’s still plenty of time for them to make a number of key additions before the start of the 2024/25 campaign.
The goalkeeping department is an area that Mark Robins may want to have a look at despite having two senior options there – and a replacement for Callum O’Hare will also be needed if Rudoni isn’t going to play in an advanced midfield role.
O’Hare looks destined to leave the club and considering the impact his departure may have, a replacement will be required.
In the wing department, they have boosted their options with the signings of Ephron Mason-Clark and Rodrigues, but an addition may be needed in the striker area.
Ellis Simms, Haji Wright, Fabio Tavares and Matt Godden are all available as striker options, but Wright can operate out wide, Tavares hasn’t made a huge impact during his time at the Coventry Building Society Arena and Godden’s future may be uncertain.
Keeping Ben Sheaf could be Coventry City’s best summer business
Sheaf was a vital player for the Sky Blues last term – and he can count himself unlucky not to have won promotion from this level already.
Not only did he play a huge role in the middle of the park during the 2023/24 campaign, but he also found himself in the right places at the right times, with his FA Cup goal against Oxford United back in January reinforcing that.
His all-round game makes him such a valuable player to have at this level, with his passing, tackling and ability to be a threat in the final third making him one of the most complete midfielders in the division.
