Loan window ends tonight at 11pm, same as transfers. Can sign free agents any time
COVENTRY City are targeting a striker and a central midfielder to bring in before tonight’s transfer window deadline, we can confirm.
Our club sources have told us deals for the two players are progressing, but nothing is certain.
If both players are secured, it is expected that would complete incoming transfer activity today.
We do not know on what terms either player would be brought in – whether on a permanent deal or on loan.
Plan B could be deployed this afternoon if the two deals do not get over the line.
Contrary to rumours, captain Jordan Willis’s departure to Rotherham today is not a fait accompli, say our sources, and he is at Ryton training ground as normal this morning.
So too are the other young stars who have been the subject of bids and interest – Ben Stevenson, Ryan Haynes and Cian Harris.
We revealed yesterday Championship side Wolves had made an offer for attacking full-back Ryan Haynes, but that had been rejected.
We also confirmed that, as of yesterday, there had been no third offer for midfielder Ben Stevenson. That remains the case as of mid-morning today, club sources told us.
Sky Blues club captain Willis had been the subject of two offers from Rotherham, we confirmed yesterday, which were rejected because they did not meet the Sky Blues’ valuation for him.
Tottenham Hotspur yesterday made enquiries about looking at Cian Harries for a trial period, after the 19-year-old earlier this month had trials at Liverpool. That approach was rejected.
From Les Reid at the Observer, we need more than one striker

I have had a call from Slade to see if I still have my boots!
I did like their music and those platforms.....
There's one for the teenagers!

Brentford are signing Sergi Canos from Norwich for £2.5 mill, not sure if this means their Stevenson interest has ended. I don't know if they'd want/be able to afford both without selling.
I'm not bothered either way to be honest, whoever we sell today won't be replaced anyway.
Isn't Crystal Palace in for Hogan now? but i think Brentford wanted one or the other not both so hopefully it means hes staying
we're bottom of the league. and have 2 potential signings happening. even we lose no other players it doesn't bode well for our survive hopes
Smellygraph believe the fee offered for Haynes was 100 K, they have now apparently cooled their interest.
just hope the players who do come in can play next Tuesday. league is a write off and should be looking at Tuesday as priority

Bloody Dean Hammond looked brilliant but for Utd was a bit of a mardi arse and did fook all for a season on big bucks.
Not the sort of player that will roll up their sleeves in a relegation battle or in Div 4......
