Coventry City are interested in Yeovil Town’s impressive young centre-half Alex Lacey.
The Telegraph understands that Sky Bluesboss Mark Robins has been monitoring the 23-year-old’s progress at Huish Park where the defender has been one of the Glovers’ players of the season.
Lacey is out of contract this summer and expected to be offered fresh terms by the Somerset club that is managed by former Yeovil midfielder Darren Way.
But if Coventry make a move for the centre-back a switch to the Ricoh Arena might well be tempting for the player who will, no doubt, share Robins’s ambitions for promotion in order to test himself at a higher level.
Arguably Yeovil’s most improved player this term, the 6ft 2inch tall player has established himself as a key part of the centre of the defence for the League Two side that finished 20th, four points clear of relegation.
Lacey has forged partnerships with Nathan Smith, Bevis Mugabi and Darren Ward – older brother of former City defender Elliott – throughout the season and has been a commanding figure regardless of who he has played with, and able to play either right or left sided centre-half.
The former Luton Town Academy graduate has also added goals to his game this season, with four in all competitions, including one against his home town club MK Dons in the Checkatrade Trophy.
