Simms in £16m Prem move as McNair link to Coventry City explained – AI predicts summer transfers
Coventry City transfer gossip from CoventryLive as we take a look at what AI is predicting for the Sky Blues this summer, taken with a huge pinch of salt!
The transfer window gossip columns and so-called ITK social media accounts are awash with speculation at this time of year, ranging from believable snippets that just might have a bit of substance to the far fetched and downright spurious.
Whatever next? Well, I’ll tell you what. Predicted transfer moves from AI, that’s what!
Yep, that’s right, you heard me, Artificial Intelligence is getting in on the act, with BettingSites.co.uk using AI software to predict the biggest transfers in the Championship this summer.
It’s something to clearly be taken with a large pinch of salt and in no way too seriously. And with that in mind, just for a bit of fun, here’s what they’ve come up with for Coventry City.

The headline transfer is Ellis Simms going to Brentford as Ivan Toney’s replacement for £16million, which, to be fair, wouldn’t be a bad return on City’s initial £3.5m investment from Everton just 12 months ago.
However, while it also claims that Ben Sheaf could move on – which is not beyond the realms of possibility given the early reported interest in the former Arsenal prospect – a desperately low transfer fee of just £3m is predicted for a move to Premier League side Crystal Palace. A minimum of £10m, and probably nearer to £15m, however, would be more realistic.
