Coventry City have joined the transfer battle for Burnley's Zian Flemming, with the striker's future uncertain as interest from Leeds and other clubs grows. The Sky Blues are keen to bolster their attack before the new season, and Flemming's proven Premier League quality makes him an attractive target.
What's the latest on Flemming's future?
Flemming proved last season that he has what it takes to be an effective force in the Premier League, scoring 11 goals in 21 starts for Burnley. However, the Clarets are reluctant to lose their star man, and it's increasingly likely that he won't be playing Championship football this term.
Why is Coventry City interested in Flemming?
Coventry City are familiar with Flemming from their time in the Championship, and see him as an addition that could help them push for Premier League survival. The Midlands outfit are keen to add proven Premier League quality to their group before the big kick-off.
What's next for Coventry City's transfer plans?
Coventry City are also in talks with Rangers over a potential loan deal for winger Jahnoah Markelo. The 23-year-old only joined from Swiss club Zurich back in January, but struggled to make an impact at the CBS Arena and could now be moved on.
What's the current league standing for Coventry City?
As of the start of the new season, Coventry City are 1st in the Championship, with 95 points from 46 games last season, and a recent form of WWWDD. They have scored 97 goals and conceded 45 so far this season, with a +52 goal difference. They are 11 points clear of Ipswich at the top of the table.
