FLW have been informed by a club insider at the Sky Blues that it looks set to be Aston Villa midfielder Joe Cole, with it being no secret that the Aston Villa midfielder was seeking regular first-team football and would consider a temporary move elsewhere.
Despite interest from the Championship nothing has come to fruition and now Cole looks set to sign a loan deal at the Ricoh Arena.
The move is quite remarkable considering the ex-Chelsea player has played in the Premier League all of his career, and it is also surprising that given Villa’s recent struggles that he hasn’t been given more of a go at Villa Park.
Cole could join before the Sky Blues’ home game with Blackpool tomorrow afternoon, although it is unclear at this stage whether he would sign in time to actually feature during the game or not.
