Coventry City Finalising Swoop For Sweden International
Coventry City have reached the final stages of their move for Hammarby goalkeeper Oliver Dovin and are now agreeing on the terms of the deal before taking the player to England.
The Championship side have been working on a deal to sign the shot-stopper for quite some time now as they plan on increasing the depth of their goalkeeping department.
Though there were some initial disagreements regarding the transfer fee it is believed to have been sorted out now.
According to Swedish daily Expressen, only a few small details remain now before the young goalkeeper flies to England to finalise his move.
Coventry City will pay around £1.4m to Hammarby for Dovin.
Dovin has been impressive with his performances in the Hammarby shirt so far this season, featuring in all their league games.
He had interest from other clubs but Mark Robins’ team are now just a step away from winning the race.
Dovin will come with international experience having played for Sweden in two international matches.
Callum O’Hare: How much was Sheffield United transfer target earning at Coventry City?
Former Coventry City midfielder Callum O’Hare is one of the most in-demand free agents on the market this summer.
O’Hare has departed Coventry after turning down the offer of a new contract, bringing his impressive five-year spell at the CBS Arena to an end.
After returning from a serious knee injury, O’Hare starred for the Sky Blues last season as they narrowly missed out on the play-offs, while he also helped Mark Robins’ side reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup, where they were beaten on penalties by Manchester United.
In total, O’Hare scored 22 goals and provided 30 assists in 182 appearances for Coventry, and after his exit was confirmed earlier this month, he took to social media to share an emotional message with Sky Blues supporters.
“Thank you for everything, taking me in as soon as I came through the door & giving me some of the best moments & memories of my life.
“Thank you for the special connection we created together & singing my song every single game & most importantly. Thank you for being you,” O’Hare wrote on X.
