Coventry City’s latest stance on 22 y/o as QPR and Luton Town weigh up move

Brighton and Hove Albion left-back Alex Cochrane is a name currently under consideration at Coventry City to fill the void left by former loanee Ian Maatsen, as per a report from Coventry Live.

The Sky Blues are currently on the prowl for a new left wing-back to come in with Dutchman Maatsen unlikely to return at this stage, considering the likes of Borussia Dortmund and FC Barcelona have been linked with him in recent months.

Regardless of this, a move back to the CBS Arena may not materialise and Mark Robins has shortlisted Cochrane as a potential option in this area, with Jake Bidwell likely to provide him with competition for the wing-back spot on the left.

The Brighton man spent last season out on loan at Hearts, making 40 appearances as a regular starter for the Scottish Premiership side and recording three goals and four assists in the process during what was a successful spell north of the border.

He spent some of his time at his former loan side playing at wing-back and with that, could slot in seamlessly into Robins’ system, though he’s just a name under consideration at this stage with a bid seemingly not being launched just yet after first being linked with a move to the Midlands by The Sun.

Luton Town and Queens Park Rangers are also in the race for the Englishman according to the same outlet, with the latter waving goodbye to Lee Wallace and Sam McCallum this summer.
