Coventry City duo touted for summer exit as Man Utd loan prediction revealed
FLW’s Coventry City fan pundit has given his view on some of the transfers that could happen at the club this summer.
Coventry City will be hoping to challenge for promotion from the Championship next season.
The Sky Blues were beaten by Luton Town on penalties in the play-off final in the 2022-23 season, and after losing star duo Viktor Gyokeres and Gustavo Hamer last summer, they made a slow start to the season.
Coventry sat as low as 20th in the table in late November, but a significant upturn in form in the second half of the season saw them emerge as top six contenders.
The Sky Blues missed out on the play-off places as they finished ninth in the table, but it will be seen as another season of progress under the guidance of Mark Robins, particularly considering their FA Cup exploits.

Coventry produced one of the most remarkable comebacks in FA Cup history as they recovered from 3-0 down against Manchester United in the semi-final at Wembley to take the game to extra time, but after having a late goal ruled out for offside, they went on to lose on penalties to the eventual winners of the competition.
Robins has started his summer rebuild, with senior players such as Simon Moore and Liam Kelly departing at the end of their contracts, and midfielder Callum O’Hare is also likely to be moving after rejecting the offer of a new deal.
The Sky Blues will be keen to strengthen their squad this summer in preparation for another promotion push, and owner Doug King could provide Robins with significant backing in the transfer market once again
