From CET
There was no rush to get the deal done before last night’s 11pm deadline because being unattached to any club he can sign outside the window. Lampard has spoken about his quality, fitness and “brilliant” character in the dressing room during the last three weeks while the 33-year-old has been training with his home town club, and unless someone comes in and offers him a long-term contract, it feels like it’s only going to be a matter of time before Paterson joins City on a short-term arrangement until the end of the season.
An exciting and versatile forward who can play on either flank, as an attacking midfielder or second striker, the experienced player could complete what has been a decent window for the Sky Blues who have just hit form.
