O’Hare, Sibley, Panzo: The latest Coventry City news headlines you might have missed

Coventry City need to have a positive summer transfer window to ensure they build on their promising 12th placed finish in the Championship last season.

Like a few teams who have been able to compete towards the top end of the second tier in recent seasons, the Sky Blues are not able to compete financially with the big boys at the moment, but reinvesting smartly and unlocking the potential in younger players has seen them upset the odds on a consistent basis.

The 24-year-old will be very difficult to replace, given the influence that he had on matches, regardless of whether he came up with a goal or an assist, but the highly sophisticated recruitment at the CBS Arena will back their ability to reinvest sensibly.

Nursey also revealed that Derby County’s Louie Sibley is one of the players who has been identified to start replacing O’Hare, should he depart before the season kicks off.

Sibley had an underwhelming 2021/22 for the Rams, but, still only 20, there is plenty of time on his side, and there have been glimpses of a very exciting attacking midfielder in the last few seasons.

In what feels like a very good deal for both parties, Jonathan Panzo has joined the Sky Blues on a season-long loan from Nottingham Forest.
